In a Persian Market

Album by Albert Ketèlbey & Philharmonia Orchestra & John Lanchbery

In a Persian Market is a light orchestral composition by English composer Albert Ketèlbey, composed in 1920. Musically it exemplifies early 20th-century light music with colourful orchestration, modal melodies and exoticist gestures that evoke episodic scenes of a marketplace, and it typifies Ketèlbey's character-piece approach that played a role in shaping popular orchestral repertoire of the period.
