Inspired by this popular composer’s journey through the western hill country of England and Wales, this delightful piece borrows from folk melodies he heard on a river near the Scottish border. The three contrasting sections of the piece make it equally suitable for concert or contest use and Sheldon’s artful scoring makes this one of the nicest pieces we have heard. Splendid Music! I. Stow-On-the-Wold II. Bradford Ballade III. On Derwentwater.
