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.
