Notes

Written as a student at the RAM for the baritone Bruce Boyce.

 I began studies at RAM with Harold Craxton (piano) and Howard Ferguson (composition). The first piece I wrote was a folk tune arrangement for horn and piano and a song, 'Winter the huntsman', which the baritone Bruce Boyce sang through with me.
