The composition is a 3 part with the bracketed section inserted in only one part. Extending the 2nd part (as shown) probably gives the best music, with 10 468s inc 4 2468s and an extra 3 cru's.

Contains 55 cru's inc 12 56s and 24 65s, or 58 cru's if the 2nd part is extended. Only 23 leads have split tenors.

First rung 31 January 2000 at Willesden, London NW10.
