Memorable words and wonderful music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, George Butterworth, Cecil Sharp and Percy Grainger tell poignant and hilarious tales of Morris tunes and sea shanties, of ploughmen and washerwomen, and of the race to preserve their inspirational music before war and progress swept it away.
