Chorale was a British group that combined elements of prog rock and folk. In 1978 Chorale had a minor hit in the Netherlands with 'Riu, riu' The album was released in 1979 and did not sell at all, but that was due to a lack of promotion and airplay. The album itself is great. Riu Riu is the traditional song of Spanish origin and was already sung in the 16th century. In 1967, The Monkees made their version of it.

I totally agree with this review of the album:

Tracks:
1. Anthem
2. Merry Old England

4. Songs For Every Season
5. War
6. The Battle
7. Come The Night-Time
8. Riu Riu
9. Child Of Space
10. Heavy Load
11. Pantomime
