The Elizabethan Serenade was originally an instrumental piece. It was premiered in 1951 by the Mantovani Orchestra, and named Elizabethan Serenade the following year, possibly as a mark of the accession of Queen Elizabeth 2nd. The English words by Christopher Hassall were added much later (there are also versions in other languages).
The music was used as the theme tune for "Music in Miniature" on the BBC Light Programme, and as the playout for the British Forces Network radio station.
