I am writing to thank you for the kind invitation bestowed on me to visit the Royal Mifitary<br />

Academy aýSandhurst last week and view the Band of Her Majesty's Coldstream Guards in one<br />

of their official capacities.<br />

I return home further enlightened, with an ever-growing respect for the whole ensemble, and<br />

indeed institution, that holds such a famous and illustrious name. I am proud to have been<br />

commissioned by the band to write what turned out to be The Cries ofLondon and remain<br />

certain that this will develop into a mutually beneficial and rewarding collaboration over a<br />

longer period of time.<br />

With the SRC recording on the inunediate horizon and the Polyphonic project to be confirmed<br />

there's already much planned on the recording front.<br />

I have, to date, thoroughly enjoyed my visits to your band room and would like to express my<br />

appreciation to all concerned with regard to their dedication during those rehearsals.<br />

I very much look forward to a return visit.<br />

With every best wish and respect to your command.<br />

Yours,<br />

r<br />
