John Purser is grateful for Janet Baker's non-presence, Carolyn Sparey shouts 'Stick it up your jumper' (it's the same rhythm as 'destruantur hostes' but easier to sing), Paula Chateauneuf counts to 2000 in Italian, and pretty much everything else is Catherine Bott displaying the art of shifting from the sublime to the ridiculous in a matter of milliseconds - listen out carefully for the 'boing'. I just laugh a lot in the middle distance. It's an mp3,
it's 1min41, 1.55MB, and it's here

For one reason and another the recording of this music was a rather unorthodox
experience, and the resultant stresses led to a certain amount of hysteria in
the sessions. When I first went through the session tapes before editing,
I made notes of any particularly enjoyable mishaps or messing around, and
finally, over seven years later, I dug the tapes out again and spent a couple of
hours making this little montage.
