 Holst's settings of Indian texts formed only a part of his compositional output in the period 1900 to 1914.A highly significant factor in his musical development was the English folksong revival, evident in the orchestral suite "A Somerset Rhapsody" (1906–07), a work that was originally to be based around eleven folksong themes; this was later reduced to four.Observing the work's kinship with Vaughan Williams's "Norfolk Rhapsody", Dickinson remarks that, with its firm overall structure, Holst's composition "rises beyond the level of ... a song-selection".
