Although Peter Warlock was frustrated by a lack of formal and extensive musical training, his scholarship whilst editing early music at the British Museum, his work as music critic at The Daily Mail and in his own publication, Sackbut, engendered his pioneering views on musicology and the stuffy programming of his contemporaneous concert life. He contributed significantly to the renewed scholarship of Baroque music, and it is in his musical compositions that he reworked Baroque melodies into a compositional, rather than historically reproductive manner. One of Warlock’s only large ensemble works, Capriol for String Orchestra (1926), had a particular flair that inspired choreographer Fredrick Ashton to create Capriol Suite, a one-act ballet which was premiered at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in 1930 by the Marie Rambert Dancers. The work was later performed by Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet during the 1940s, and by both Ballet Rambert and Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet in the 1980s.
