Great piece this, not easy either.
The best performance i've heard of it was in a festival in Regent Hall just
after Ball's death.  The ISB played it as well as Sound out the Proclamation
and it sounded great. I don't think that the tape is available any more but it
was great.  Norman Bearcroft also read out a letter from Harry Mortimer sharing
his experiences of Eric Ball.  Mortimer was too ill to attend the festival to
deliver it personally.
