Two manuscripts, forgotten, thought lost, found. Personally, I'm not much of a Holst fan, but he had his moments. Maybe there are some here.

The Folk Songs from Somerset is a real find, an a missing link in Holst's and Vaughan Williams' folk song years that more than anything else helped them to develop their own styles.

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.  RVW, 1948

The Two Songs Without Words are recorded, only this original score was missing. But the Folk Songs from Somerset is new altogether and should be performed.
