The entire Incredible Flautist ballet is on a First Edition CD (FWIW, coupled with Kay's Cakewalk after Gottschalk)

[Dundonnell]

Thanks for the information about the complete Ballet

I have amended the information above to include that cd and the works now available for download here and provided through the tremendous generosity of shamokin.

Incidentally, it should also be noted that the 1967 Ricercare for Orchestra can be downloaded from the original First Edition recording through Amazon.com.

Ricerare is also available to download from itunes.

There is also [bFanfare for the Fighting French 1942[/b] which I have on a Varese sarabande LP I believe the contents of the LP are available on DVD. Also his contribution to the Variations on a theme of Goossens of 1945, Tunbridge Fair  - Intermezzo for Band 1950 (several CD versions)

[BFerrell]

The fanfare is on this disc.............
