I've been enjoying Mike's Satie recordings. Nicely done Mike. It put me in the mood for some Debussy. I have a Debussy sheet music book. I found a tune in it called Jimbo's Lullaby that looked easy. When I played it, I heard Manfred Mann's Earth the Circle (from Solar Fire). The melody is exactly the same. I don't really want to go digging around for that LP, but I seem to recall Mann credited as the songwriter.

I don't know how many other classical adaptations he did, but the non-album 'Joybringer' is based on Holst's 'Jupiter'. Andy T.
