| This piece takes the form of a theme and variations and was first written for a BBC radio dramatisation of the early French poem, 'Romaunt de la Rose', thus dealing with the gestures and rituals of courtly love. The first public performance was given on November 5, 1982 by the Orchestra of St Paul's School in St John's Smith Square, London.
The recording was released on Hyperion records in 1984, performed by Southern Pro Arte under Charles Peebles. Visit Hyperion's website: www.hyperion-records.co.uk.
