Product Description

A beautiful piece of pastoral music (an 'idyll') conjuring scenes of rolling English countryside. Butterworth composed the piece in 1913, and it was first performed in the following year. He was killed at the age of 31 during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. It is loosely based on the song that Vaughan Williams had lovingly recorded on one of his folk safaris in 1909. It has become almost a symbol of that long-lost halcyon Edwardian age, as if Butterworth were transcribing the disappearing world around him, to the point that he destroyed many of his existing manuscripts in 1914, before going to war, so not much of his work survives.
