I'm searching for an off-air recording of the Francis Grier's Five Joyful Mysteries
It's a work that was broadcast on Radio 3 in December 2000 for the BBC's contribution to the EBU link-up. I think the performance (from King's College Chapel, Cambridge) was also repeated at Christmas 2002. The performers are the BBC Singers and Endymion, under Stephen Cleobury.
Any help gratefully appreciated!
I find Francis Grier's music very interesting and believe it deserves a wider audience.
Many thanks.

I recorded it in 2000 I think but I had to record from a dutch radio station the reception of which was VERY bad at that time in Germany. Sometimes the noise is louder than the music. Moreover the beginning is missing.
If no one else has a recording I will gladly upload it but I doubt that you will enjoy it - due to the bad sound I mean, not the quality of the music, which reminded me a bit of Brittens Church Parables.

twinpny, I have a German cassette from 1990 of the 'Mirjam' Quartet. Not being fluent in German I cannot find out for sure if it is still commercially available.
It is titled 'Meditationsmusik zum Misereor-Hungertuch'. If it is now unavailable commercially I will happily digitise it. It is played by the Chillingirian Quartet. Failing that I do have a radio programme with Francis Grier talking about the work on the radio 4 religious programme 'Seeds of Faith' which includes a few examples.
