The complete 'Wise Virgins' Suite is already uploaded on You Tube, so here is just my favourite movement from it ... the exciting "Ah! How ephemeral" from Bach's Cantata No. 26 arr. by Walton. It's one of several Cantata movements used in Frederick Ashton's 1940 ballet featuring Margot Fonteyn. (From a Naxos CD.)
