Notes

Howard wrote, directed and edited a 16mm film called 'A Few Days' whilst working at The National Film Theatre in 1961/2 where it was shown and acquired by The British Film Institute library. In 1964 Howard revised the theme of the film creating a first movement and adding 2nd and 3rd movements at the suggestion of Chappells who also requested that a piano part replace that of the harp.This music was published by Chappell's in 1964 as "Trio for Flute, Clarinet and Piano"
