Opening of Roundhay Park Song

This song was composed specifically for the opening of Roundhay Park with the words written by T. Carlton and the music composed by J. Williamson, Leeds.

See if you can play the music from the sheet music or listen to the recording. What do you think? Why do you think it is designed just for voices?

What do you notice? Does it remind you of anything? Is it written by people you would expect?
