NYJO: Out Of Hamelin/The Pied Piper Of Hamelin (UK-import)
Paul Hart's 'Out of Hamelin' was commissioned by the BBC for the National Youth Jazz Orchestra's 2000 Prom concert. The work draws largely from the lyricism and rhythyms of Irish folk music. Recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall, the performance also includes a reading of Robert Browning's poem 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' by Helen Ashton, accompanied by music played by the NYJO.
