It was deeply gratifying to read Michael Cookson's review of the new Dutton "Spirit of England" disc that includes Lilian Elkington's "Out of the Mist", and particularly to read his view that this work "deserves to be heard more often". It was I who rescued the manuscript materials of the work many years ago in that Worthing bookshop, and nothing would please me more now than to see it grace concert programmes in the wake of this recording. It is scored for a standard orchestra of two flutes + piccolo, oboe + cor anglais, two clarinets, two bassoons + contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, harp, strings. If anyone has contacts with an orchestra that would be interested in performing it, please contact me privately.
