The haunting melody, that forms the chorus of this song, started life in 1892 as an Andantino for organ by Edwin Henry Lemare. Its opening phrase had an even earlier birth, however, bearing as it does an uncanny resemblance to that of the Adagio of Mozart's Hunt quartet. This may explain the arranger Bill Thorp's musical treatment, his original marking "in hot pursuit", and the dedication to the celebrated Pizza Express quartet at Dean Street, Soho, London; for in medieval times this area was farming and hunting land, its name deriving from the old hunting cry of "So-ho!"
