Composed in 1963, James Iliff dedicated the score 'For George Self and the pupils of Holloway School, London'. James conducted the Holloway School orchestra and the new piece was performed twice in the concert. We hear the second of the performances. 
The score can be viewed on the British Music Collection website under 'James Iliff'.

James Iliff composed 'A Curious Fable' in 2005 to a commission from his former RAM composition student Edward McGuire who typed up the final version in 2023. This resulted in the Sibelius audio file to be heard here. A live premiere is being planned.
