Op 127 of the Beety-boy. Disc 3 of the Nancarrow.

No. 6. Another contemporary piece that could become more widely popular given a chance. Partly generated from RVW's 'Down Ampney', which makes a full appearance towards the end. The short 'scherzo' reminds me of the 'Purgatorio' movement in the Mahler 10 reconstruction. As a young lad Matthews (along with brother Colin) worked as assistants to Deryck Cooke on that.

Only the one listen but this seems the most immediately appealing of the series so far. A short one and a long multi-sectioned quartet. And how can you resist something called "Lighthouses of Orkney and Shetland". I've never been to Shetland but have very fond memories of Orkney.
