The Greedy man considers nuclear war for cor anglais and guitar by David Warin Solomons English Horn - Digital Sheet Music

Instrumental version of my setting of Gavin Ewart's satirical poem in which he considers theeffects of nuclear war from the point of view of a person who only thinks of food.Originally written for alto voice and guitar.In places the guitar part mimics the song from Oliver: "Food Glorious food"The pdf file contains score and parts.The sound sample is an electronic preview.Original poem:I suppose you all realise we shall lose the sizzling sausagesand the mild mountains of mashed potatoes boiled silverside with dumplings raspberries and cream we shall vanish from the pecking order of the chicken tikka trout with almonds will swim away from us little lambs will no more jump into our mouths fragrant with rosemary All the good wholesome foods will vanish just as surely as sophisticated dishes And what shall we be left with? Some assorted politicians ....not very good to eat! Some dispirited rootcrops tinned food perhaps ev'rything else burned up the culture of the kitchen, the chef's wisdom of the ages vanished in flame like the bread in a toaster! The end of eating civilisation as we know it!
