De vier melodieen in deze suite zijn alom geliefd geworden dankzij Sir Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, een vast terugkerend ingredient van The Last Night of the Proms, een van de populairste en meest feestelijkeklassieke concerten ter wereld. Hij introduceerde deze kleurrijke suite in de Proms in 1905, om het eeuwfeest te vieren van Nelson's overwinning bij de zeeslag van Trafalgar, toen Groot-Brittannie met recht kon zingen: 'Britanniarule the waves'. Dit boeiende arrangement van de originele melodieen is twee eeuwen na de betreffende beroemde zeeslag gemaakt.
Die vier in dieser Suite verwendeten Melodien erlangten durch Sir Henry Woods Fantasia on British Sea Songs Weltruhm. Diese Suite ist ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil der Last Night of the Proms (Abschlusskonzert der jahrlichen Londoner Promenadenkonzerte). Diese Bearbeitung der originalen Lieder entstand in dem Jahr, als sich die beruhmte Seeschlacht von Trafalgar zum 200.Mal jahrte. Bringen Sie dieses Stuck britische Tradition in Ihr Konzert!
The Saucy Arethusa, Farewell and Adieu, Sailor's Epitaph, Sailor's Hornpipe sono estratti dalla celebre Fantasia on British Sea Songs di Sir Henry Wood, un'opera che figura ogni anno nel programma dei Concerti The Last Night of the Proms di Londra. Sir Henry Woods diresse la prima del suo brano in occasione della serata di chiusura dei concerti nel 1905 per commemorare il centenario della brillante vittoria dell'ammiraglio Nelson a Trafalgar, il 21 ottobre 1805, quando la flotta inglese regnava sui mari. Philip Sparke ha arrangiato queste quattro melodie nel 2005, l'anno del bicentenario della celebre battaglia.
