MS Mus. 1893/2/92

Commissioned jointly by the Hampstead and Highgate Festival and Presteigne Festival. First performed by the Hampstead and Highgate Festival Orchestra, conducted by George Vass (to whom the work is dedicated), St. John-at-Hampstead Church, 9 May 2007.

For string orchestra (6.5.4.3.2).

(1). Incomplete double-sided photocopy autograph score (A3), pp. 2-13 (i.e. lacking title-page and lacking Movement III). Movement I dated 18 November 2006 (p. 9). Movement II dated 4 February 2007 (p. 13).

(2). 9 March 2007. Photocopy autograph letter (1 sheet) from Wood to 'Chris', referring to the 'odd constitution of George Vass' orchestra: 6:5:4:3:2. Having a IInd Vln and a cello missing, and the odd numbers involved has created a number of compromises – and balance problems which I may not have solved directly. Good luck with it – hope there's not too many mistakes remaining.'

(3). First set of printed proofs (Chester Music 2007), pp. [1]-21 (size: A4). Corrected by Wood in red ink, the foot of each page dated 19 March 2007.

(4). Further set of printed proofs 'received 27 March 07', incorporating Wood's previous corrections, pp. [1]-21 (size: A4).

(5). Unrelated draft pencil score across the inner pages of a single bifolium (270 x 370 mm). Bars 1-22. Dated 22 and 23 May 2007. Retained by Wood in the same folder as the Divertimento.
