Description
A parodical instrumental version of Henry Bishop's famous tune (There's no place like home).
Each variation gives the tune to a different instrument in the group and the various styles represent the people we visit, who lend their own flavour to the tune before returning to our original home.
0. Original composition by Henry Bishop
1. Uncle Hamish - Scottish snaps and bagpipe drones
2. Uncle Scott (Joplin) a sort of ragtime version
3. L'Oncle Olivier (Messaien) - a moody version in octatonic mode (one of Messaiens' favourite modes)
4. Professor Wu - a major pentatonic version in honour of a doctor of mine
5. Onkel Johann (Strauss) a jolly waltz of course
6. Back Home
