Within a few weeks he had face a Tribunal exempting him from military service as a conscientious objector. In his statement to the Tribunal he had said 'I believe sincerely that I can help my fellow human beings best, by continuing the work I am best qualified to do', and almost immediately he began giving concerts with Peter Pears in towns, rural villages and prisons. He also wrote major scores for radio propaganda programmes, including An American in England, six programmes about wartime conditions in England produced by the BBC for live transmission in the USA by CBS; and Britain to America, three programmes as part of a weekly transmission by NBC.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic from these two series is accompanied by incidental music to two plays by Auden and Isherwood: The Ascent of F6 and On the Frontier; and Roman Wall Blues, from a lost radio production with Auden, Hadrian's Wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEntr'actes for Mr \u0026amp; Mrs A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEntr'acte and Gunn's Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO Brothers!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePantomime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMother's Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAct II Prelude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClimbing Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGunn's Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClimbing Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabaret Jazz Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO Senseless Hurricanes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuneral March and Chorus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues: Stop All the Clocks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMother's Song With Chorus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChorale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLondon By Clipper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDover to London\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRation Island\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLondon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Walk Down to a Part of the City\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarren.
