About the work

Reminiscent of George Shearing’s “Recollection of Light Music heard in 1950s Gents hairdressers’.”

First Performance: Mixed ensemble version – late 1977, London

Technical notes

Second part is relatively straightforward, first part far less so, but not really difficult. Soft-centred, lush, and sustained.
