Incidental music for Emile Verhaeren's "Philip II."
Mentioned in an article on Goossens in the July 1, 1919 Musical Times ("...an overture and incidental music for a performance of Verhaeren's 'Philip II' at the Court Theatre.") ("The music has since been remodeled as a suite, and will be heard again.") This prelude may be to the suite from the unsuccessful incidental music, not to the original- hard to say. The date 1917 in the bottom right corner of the last page suggests that it was in fact composed in that year?
