This was composed for the
1950 Christopher Fry adaptation Ring Round
the Moon, which was originally written by the French playwright, Jean Anouilh, as L'Invitation
au Chateau and staged in 1947.The production was directed by Peter Brook and is the story of twin
heroes who were played by Paul Schofield.The waltz has also been recorded by
Sidney Torch and Robert Farnon who did their own orchestrations, but the
original music has been lost which is thought to have happened in the 1960s
Chappell's fire.
