I have the lyrics but am looking for the music in sheet music, recording or midi for Kipling's "Young British Soldier".

At least one tune was composed by Percy Grainger but I cannot find the music in nay of the usual sources such as Levy.

Peter Bellamy recorded it but I can't find his recording either.

Any ideas?

Sorry Richard. But I will refresh the thread and put it back to the top again. To give another chance for the more informed of us, to help you.

There is a list HERE. Of all of Peter Bellamy's recordings. He seems to have this one more than once.

Thanks Shambles;

Yes, I know Peter seems to have a lot. Unfortunately the sites I have found say that his material can be ordered from Jenny Bellamy, but give no contact for her. Great marketing. So I have some queries out to try and locate her.

Thanks again

Richard

Could be the same one - not at home to check - but I have a CD of a musical play called the Widows Uniform put out by various people including Brian Peters and Chris Sugden (aka Syd Kipper). Excellent play - saw it at Wigan Pier - and a good recording. If I think on I will check if YBS is on it.

Cheers

Dave;

I imagine it's the same. Wish I had seen the play.
