I play the piccolo on the fast bit as well. I really like this piece and that one from 'the piano', I cant remember what its called...I love the build-up of all the instruments.

That's very true. Interesting to note, also, that Nyman's music for Draughstman's Contract and ZOO and Cook Thief, for examples, were written before any filming took place. That allowed Greenaway to fashion the image to themusic. I had read he was actually disappointed in Drowning by Numbers because the filming took place first and Nyman "scored" it. I disagree though.

In Greenaway's films these tracks by Nyman conveyed an indescribable and yet dispassionate tragedy. PG fashioned A Zed and Two Naughts as if it were formally a comedy, with the twins finding consummation in suicide; and same with Drowning by Numbers, and certainly in The Cook, The Thief... And somehow I feel certain that Nyman's music fit the scheme of stymied forms--but ultimately with a gravity that sticks with you.

We made our own (maybe slightly improvised!) version of this song. I did ground bass. Then we had electric guitar on melody 4 and generally filling in. Of course, theres the chords and other melodies. Our intro was the best! srsly!
