About This Work

This arrangement of National Airs from around the UK has been heard for many years at the start up of BBC Radio 4 first thing in the morning. It brings together traditional tunes from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland including Early One Morning, Rule Britannia, The Londonderry Air, Annie Laurie, What shall we do with the drunken sailor?, Greensleeves, Men of Harlech and Scotland the Brave.

This work, arranged by Geoff Kingston has never previously been published for sale. Early in 2006 the BBC announced that the theme would cease to be used from April 2006. This caused consternation amongst devotees of this early morning musical fantasy.

This revised arrangement, produced in 2013, makes the score more accessible to smaller bands whilst retaining all the richness and colours of the original setting.
