These short pieces are from a variety of sources.

After Hell in from a radio play, called Don Juan and Faust, by Christian Dietrich Grabbe, written in 1828 and devised for radio by Peter Barnes.

Alone is from another Barnes play, Sunsets and Glories, which opened at the Yorkshire Playhouse in 1990

Dancer is a fragment of a work for the Royal Ballet School

Eli-Eli is a scene-change piece for Barnes’ tv play The Sprit of Man, 1990

Jumping Bean Bag  (1976) was my first foray into television. The ‘Play for Today’ was about public schoolboys who form a rock band.

Klezmer Dance is a fragment of my Quintet which you can hear in the section called Chamber

Then Shanty was composed for the TV Play, Bye-Bye Columbus, BBC 1992 (also by Peter Barnes)

This Tango was the only piece that Peter Barnes ever rejected. It was composed for Nobody Here but us Chicken (Ch4 1989). I managed to sneak it in somewhere else.
