Most of the music on this recording has been inspired by the landscape and history of the county of Cornwall in England. I am not cornish. My birthplace lies just to the east of the river Tamar, which forms the border between Devon and Cornwall. However, even since my first visit to Land's End, the county has held a special fascination for me. Its early inhabitants are traceable back to Paleolithic man. It has a language of its own, which remained in use up until the nineteenth century. With a rich fund folklore and legend in addition, I've found much to inspire me.
The pieces are not intended to be musical portraits of particular places or events, the titles being simply a collection of some of the intriguing place-names found on and around the road to St. Ives. (John Surman)
