The 'Brook Green Green Suite' (1933) was among the last things he wrote and indeed he wrote most of it while in the hospital. It is primarily for strings although there are optional parts for flute, oboe and clarinet, omitted in this performance. The suite consists of three movements - Prelude, Air, and Dance - that frolic and glimmer in the characteristic bright English morning light. Lyric Movement for Viola and Chamber Orchestra', also written in Holst's last year, was dedicated to that era's leading violist, Lionel Tertis. It, too, opens with a yearning cadenza this time answered by a solo flute. A Fugal Concerto for Flute, Oboe and Strings' (1923) is a sprightly contrapuntal three movement work lasting eight minutes. It is quintessentially English in spirit, with a dancing first movement, songful Adagio and a concluding allegro with many off-kilter accents.

Paul's Suite is a composition for string orchestra plus wind parts, written for the girls school in which he taught. A Fugal Concerto is a heartwarming piece, not in the least dry or academic. The Double Concerto, for 2 violins and orchestra, dating from 1930 is more serious work that received the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society after its first performance. The Brook Suite, another work for pupils of St. Paul's and written during a prolonged illness, is in contemporary mature style, at the same time easy to perform.
