If George Butterworth is a household name in your residence then you are a rare duck so to speak.
He is an English composer of a century back, and part of a number of fine craftsman who could really work the magic. It isn't profound stuff but it is listenable and peaceful.
There is an affinity between art and people living on an island (England for instance). Their land and resources are finite - bordered by ocean in this case - and perhaps that brings about a deep caring for nature and the land. Not sure but it is human nature, when confronted by a lot of something, to waste part of it because there is so much of it....think of the small plate of food and the hungry man as opposed to the "endless buffet" and the half eaten meal.
Not sure, but given our government's current lack of respect for all things dealing with the good earth, I think so anyway.
