About English Folk Song Suite.
Vaughan Williams' sense of nationalism and patriotism manifested itself in a variety of ways. In addition to examples such as the bugle call in the second movement of the Third Symphony are the pieces written after the war for military band. Having collected over 800 folk songs in his lifetime, it is not surprising that his first band piece was the English Folk Song Suite written in 1923. The suite was written for the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall. According to Vaughan Williams' wife, he welcomed the opportunity to compose a piece for band.
A military band was a change from an orchestra, and in his not-so-far off army days he had heard enough of the "ordinary monger's light stuff" to feel that a chance to play real tunes would be an agreeable and salutary experience for Bandsmen.
Vaughan Williams used no fewer than nine folk songs to create the three-movement suite.
