The original score was presented to Malcolm Arnold’s friends, Tony and Hilary Giles, as a wedding present. Tony Giles was a St Agnes-based artist. Subsequently Hilary approached me and asked if I could find it a permanent home for the music and I arranged for it to be deposited at the Cornish Studies Library (later Kresen Kernow) in Redruth.
