Distant Land was originally written in 1991 as a choral piece (subtitled A Prayer for Freedom) inspired by the release of Nelson Mandela from prison. John Rutter was encouraged to make an orchestral version of it by Mark Wilkinson at Universal Classics, who suggested that a number of his shorter choral pieces with orchestra might work in a purely orchestral form.
