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.
