Scenes from Comus, for soprano, tenor, and orchestra. Words: John Milton. First performed 25 August 1965 at the BBC Promenade Concerts.
Bound dyeline autograph full score (title-page and pp. 1-96), in soft red covers. Large format (350 x 450 mm). Orchestra instrumentation is listed on the verso of the title-page. Copyright 1965 by Universal Edition (London) Ltd.
Dated at the end of the score, within the copy: '1 September 1962-25 June 1965'.
The score is annotated throughout in red pencil and in pencil. One pencil annotation (p. 1) is dated 'Aug 79' ('duet needs re-writing (rhythm)'), suggesting other pencil annotations may also be of this date.
