Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commissioned specifically to represent the United Kingdom on 'Our World', the first live global television satellite broadcast, this track was watched by an estimated 400 million people. Opening with 'La Marseillaise', the intricate orchestration shifts abruptly between 7/4 and 4/4 time signatures. The chaotic, joyous outro features musical quotes from 'Greensleeves', 'In the Mood', and their own hit 'She Loves You'.
