Extra Information Incidental music to a play by Alfred Noyes. The play was never staged with Coleridge-Taylor's music. The composer may not have reached the point of orchestrating the music. When published numbers 1 to 4 were issued as piano scores and number 5 was issued in an orchestration by Sydney Baynes.
