It is listed as a movement of English Folk Song Suite - is it the same piece or something completely different? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.195.153 (talk) 01:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, you're right - it's not actually part of the English Folk Song Suite, but thanks for bringing that up, I'll change the article. Rob (talk) 12:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few other band recordings - not sure if you are going for completness, but it seems funny that you mention so many orchestra recordings of what was originally a band piece, and only the one RNCM band recording. Anyway, it's been recorded by North Texas, conducted by Eugene Corporon (Gia) and US Air Force Band (Altissimo). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.160.130 (talk) 22:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, go for it, that list was really just based on an Amazon UK search (I seem to remember to get it up to the "do you know" character limit!) Rob (talk) 22:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page view note

I note that the article's DKY template lists "0 mainpage views" when it was up on the main page, which is a bit weird. I know I looked at it at least once when it was up there! For some reason there is no pageview history for this article in that month. Rob (talk) 16:50, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source of first tune

The main page says the first movement is based on the song "Princess Royal" but it seems to be based also on part of another tune (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCpimLb7SPM at 0:14), which could be part of the Easter hymn "This Joyful Eastertide."Schmedipus (talk) 05:18, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
