NJB Material

• The words and some recordings of Tempus Est featuring the voice of NJB

• Other recordings from late 1948 (all of which were performed in the concert on December 4th, 1948): Ding Dong Merrily on High; Lullay My Liking (Holst), soloist G Nutter; Fanfare for Christmas Day (Shaw) [these mp3 files are all courtesy of John Hill, the proud owner of an original 78-rpm record, as mentioned in the KES magazine of March, 1949]
• Four Negro Spirituals from a 78, arranged by NJB, in M4A format: “Deep River”, “Bye & Bye”, “Oh, Peter, Go ring Them Bells” and “Steal Away” (courtesy of Alan Oxer, KES 49-55)

Settings of spirituals

Don Bunce (KES 60-67) posseses ten of NJB's manuscripts (in the original 1950s purple produced by Banda machines) and David Hope (KES 58-66) has converted them to pdf using the score-writing program Sibelius.
