Price £17.95

On The Fiddle consists of three pieces derived from scores to three Peter Greenaway films.

The first piece "Full Fathom Five", is a version of the Shakespeare song setting made for Prospero's Books (1990). The second "Angelfish Decay", is an arrangement of an arrangement: the music for the speeded up time lapse decaying animal sequences in A Zed And Two Noughts (1985) was written for two violins and a harpsichord. This was subsequently 'reduced' to a violin solo for Zoo Caprices (1986). For 'On The Fiddle' a piano part has been added.

The final piece "Miserere Paraphrase", was written for use in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (1989), and is a transcription of Nyman's setting of the 'Miserere' text (Psalm 51) sung in the film by a boy soprano and mixed chorus. First performed on 27 August 1993.
