* There is now at least one other recording—of the two Tree Sequences for voice, piano, and woodblocks, performed by Shcrbournc, Janet and Lockett, Mark on a disc called Slower Than Molasses (Practical Music; 502 Chester Road, Sutton Coldfield, B73 5HL)Google Scholar which also contains a number of pleasant pieces, mostly in a subtilized pop idiom, composed by Glyn Bush, Michael Parsons, and the performers themselves. Skempton's settings of miniscule texts have an even more striking haiku-like perfection than his piano pieces—each syllable and each piano tone gains a crystalline density and transparency of meaning, while the woodblocks and piano epilogue to the first Sequenceis a nice surprise.

* Since Schoenberg always made such a point of having been the first composer to use a trombone glissando, in the Vaults Scene in Pelleas, it's interesting to find one in Dir Seejinigfrau as well (bar 23 of the scherzo).
