A Robert Burns Blues (1967) 3. Homage to Poulenc (1963) The Pastorale comes from a song, a student work, setting the first poem of James Joyce's early cycle Chamber Music - 'Strings in the earth and air'; the second piece is another song to Burns' 'My love is like a red, red rose', which was frequently performed by Meriel and Peter Dickinson in their recitals (recorded on Albany TROY 369); Homage to Poulenc started as a piano duet, No. 1 of Five Forgeries (recorded by the composer and John Flinders on Naxos 8.572287). It isdedicated to Lennox Berkeley because he and Poulenc were good friends.

Their recording has been released on Heritage HTGCD 254. Priority Direct Import titles are specialty titles that are not generally offered for sale by US-based retailers.
