The Wreckers
The Boatswain's Mate - excerpt

[Jimfin]

So much on here that I haven't heard and would love to, especially 'The Boatswain's Mate' and 'The Prison'

[albion]

I have added some more works and performance dates.

As a number of autograph scores are missing, some compositions are difficult to date. Also, several works underwent substantial revision following their first performances: for example, Smyth devoted a considerable amount of effort to refashioning music from her two final stage-works, Fête Galante and Entente Cordiale.

Isn't there (or shouldn't there be) a PC as well?

Isn't there (or shouldn't there be) a PC as well?

Simple answer - no.
