I love Malcolm Forsyth's own description of his Quintette for Winds (or)...:
EVERYTHINGE
Ye ever want to know about ESSEX
CONSYSTYNGE
of Four Symphonick Etudes
WHEREIN
Malcolm Forsyth, their author, attempts battell,
with all its attendant hubris,
ON
The Fields of his Two Favouryte musical PROBLEMS,
One of which is Hemiola and the other is NOT,
WHICH
Though not layde to reste, are nevertheless
giveyn a right olde worke-oute.
