Description:
England boasts an enormous treasure of folksongs, many of those being preserved and listed thanks to the efforts of Cecil Sharp (1859-1924). The composers Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Percy Grainger were very keen on those folksongs and used many of them in several of their wind band compositions. Eric Wheterell resumed this idea. His composition is based on the Somerset folksong 'Waly, Waly' which provides the main theme. Two countermelodies build the two other themes.
