This lovely piece is a beautiful evocation of the English countryside. It was commissioned in 1978 to mark HRH, the Princess Anne and her family taking up residence in the Cotswolds and is part of a Suite of Cotswold Folk Dances. The composer has set this traditional tune in a gentle and somehow timeless: it's just gorgeous, and is brought out wonderfully by the varied tones of the organ.

Played by Paul Broadhurst on the historic Father Willis organ of Christ Church, Birkenhead, UK.
