Barcode: 747313521821
Archibald Joyce was known as ?The English Waltz King?. The composer of delectable vignettes directed his own dance band which, depending on the size of the venue, sometimes numbered a hundred. Convinced that the Viennese waltz was not to British tastes he wrote smoother examples that included Dreaming, his most famous work, which sold over a million copies, and is a perfect example of the ?hesitation? waltz. His evocative music also included theatrical numbers, dramatic suites and the ?concert valse?, designed for the silver screen.
