Warm regards,

During lockdown I have been rediscovering composers who were previously only rather peripheral in my listening. Chief amongst these has been George lloyd. But whenever I play the first movement of his Fourth Symphony there is a phrase that sounds to me (at least) to resemble the Eton Boating Song. Of course this is most likely to be just an impression on my part. However, it occurred to me that, given the title of the work and Lloyd's wartime experience there might just be an ironic quote by the composer here. Has anyone more knowledgeable than me a view on this?
