A Celebration of British Music
From John Dowland's Galliard dedicated to the Virgin Queen through Handel's Water Music for George I to Elgar's Imperial March marking Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, classical music has bestowed upon Britain an unmatched legacy celebrating both king and country.
As well as the triumphal music for state occassions, this collection also features some of the quintessential music from Britain's long history, from Elizabethan folk tune Greensleeves to Holst's 1920 setting of Spring-Rice's patriotic poem I Vow To Thee My Country.
For every age new music is composed to match the occasion, each adding to Britain's uniquely imprssive musical heritage. This is a collection of the very best.
