A perfect parody - Britten was adept at taking lovely folk tunes and turning them into a dischordant row in order to match the tune to the limitations of Pears' voice. Little wonder that he did not like this - it's too close for comfort.
I don't know what's funnier, the fact that Mr. Moore has managed to copy Britten's compositional style so well or that his copy of the singing in the style of Peter Pares is SO spot on! GOOD GRIEF!

apparently Peter Pears liked this but Britten did not.
Not sure how anyone could consider it homophobic however.
