Oorspronkelijk

In his use of authentic Englsh folksongs, Gnostic texts and Vedic hymns, one can discern Holst’s search for a compositional Voice beyond the constraints of the European canon in the early 1900’s. In 1916 he published Six Choral Folk Songs, of which Swansea Town is the final number. The setting is a demanding one for amateur Chorus. There is a particularly effective passage in the middle that evokes a storm at sea before resolving the story with the sailors in a tavern anticipating another trip to sea. Gustav Holst has earned a place among the most revered of late 19th and early 20th century composers and is best known for his enduring Orchestral suite The Planets.

In zijn gebruik van authentieke Englsh folksongs, gnostische teksten en Vedische hymnen, kan men Holst's zoektocht naar een compositorische Voice onderscheiden buiten de beperkingen van de Europese canon in het begin van 1900. In 1916 he published Six Choral Folk Songs, of which Swansea Town is the final number. The setting is a demanding one for amateur Chorus. There is a particularly effective passage in the middle that evokes a storm at sea before resolving the story with the sailors in a tavern anticipating another trip to sea. Gustav Holst heeft een plaats tussen de meest vereerde van de late 19e en vroege 20e eeuwse componisten verdiend en is het best bekend voor zijn blijvende Orchestral suite The Planets.
