This music was commissioned for a performance at a flower festival, held in the picturesque Oxfordshire village of Chesterton. The first performance was given in the thirteenth century parish church of St. Mary's in June 1985.

This arrangement for string orchestra was completed in November 1987 for a performance in Oxford.

This new published edition was produced on the occasion of the composer's 60th birthday as part of Spartan's 30th anniversary celebrations. The expertly typeset score and set of parts supersede the composer's legacy 'facsimile' edition of 1990.

Duration: approximately 10 minutes.
