A Fugal Overture H.151

<p>Originally composed as the overture for his opera <em>The Perfect Fool</em> but ultimately not used Holst displays his wit and exuberance in this delightful work. Showcasing his interest in counterpoint it is not a strict fugue but a more of a comic fugue-parody using canonic material. Offered here is a study score for the newly engraved critical edition based upon the composer's manuscript and first edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. printed on high quality stock and perfect-bound with a glossy cover. The large conductor's score and orchestra parts are also available for sale from Serenissima Music inc.</p>
