Nearly 100 composers, ranging from the country's most highly regarded figures to the younger generation of emerging talents, each wrote a song on the theme of 'Britain', for single voice or duet and a range of accompanying instruments.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs are set to text chosen by the composers and cover a vast array of subjects, from lyrics by Blake and Byron and schoolbook rhymes listing the Kings and Queens of England, to extracts from a National Trust brochure, chants from the Leyton Orient terraces, a recipe for whisky, and road rage at the shopping centre Lakeside. Songs are interspersed with instrumental interludes from versions of a Galliard by Thomas Morley, arranged for the Songbook by Colin Matthews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Source\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeet Me in the Green Glen - Susan Bickley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAh!
