A Choral Fantasia (Holst)
''A Choral Fantasia'', Op. 51, is a work Gustav Holst composed in 1930, setting a selection of verses from Robert Bridges' ''Ode to Music''. Featuring a ''concertante'' organ part, ''A Choral Fantasia'' also involves a soprano soloist, chorus, string orchestra, brass and percussion.
==Background and composition==
The work was written in 1930 for the Three Choirs Festival by request of organist Herbert Sumsion, who wanted a work involving a ''concertante'' organ part.〔Short, p.289〕 Holst originally conceived the piece as an Organ Concerto but later changed the concept and incorporated the poem ''Ode to Music'' by his friend Robert Bridges, originally written for the Purcell bicentenary celebrations in 1895. Bridges' poem is a requiem of sorts for all past artists. The finished work is scored for the unusual forces of organ, brass, percussion and strings with chorus and solo soprano. The ''Choral Fantasia'' was first performed in 1931 at the Three Choirs festival in Gloucester Cathedral with Dorothy Silk (Holst's favorite soprano, who had premiered his ''Choral Symphony'' six years earlier) singing the solo part, and Holst conducting.
