Commissioned by the Association for Music in International Schools, Albion Heritage is a folk song fantasy based on tunes from various parts of the British Isles. It opens with Brighton Camp (an English version of The Girl I Left Behind Me), which is treated to a variety of twists and turns. The slower section is based on the Scottish tune O Waly Waly (also known as The Water Is Wide), which dates from the early 18th century. This is followed by a robust setting of Men of Harlech, which is said to describe the repeated sieges of Harlech Castle in the 15th century.
