This ocarina septet - composed by David W Solomons, inspired by the poem "Noel" by Théophile Gautier - was first performed (in midi format) at a presentation by Music for a While and the VADA Theatre Group in 2000 - at the Dance House Theatre, Manchester.
The music is now available (score and parts) at

The footage from the original dance performance has been processed, and made somewhat surreal but curiously pleasing, using serif Movie Plus X3. The sound has been created using Sonar 5 and an ocarina soundfont... while awaiting a live performance of the composition.
(PS I did say "midi performance" in the description....)

Yes, I am still awaiting a live performance of the septet. If you would like to perform it that would be great :-)
