In 1892, German wrote well-received music for a production of Henry Irving's version of Henry VIII, where he incorporated elements of traditional old English dance. Within a year, sheet music of the dance numbers from the play's score had already sold thirty thousand copies. German continued writing music for plays including The Tempter in 1893, Romeo and Juliet in 1895, and Anthony Hope's ...
The Overture became a favourite concert work and, with the Three Dances, German at last produced a dance set in his ‘olde English’ manner to rival the popularity of Three Dances from Henry VIII.
