Tippett's short chamber work is finally available as part of the Edition Schott series. 'Prelude, Recitative and Aria' is an arrangement of Hermes' Aria 'O Divine Music' from the composer's 1962 opera King Priam and was premiered by the Oriana Trio in 1964. It is a relatively straightforward work in three distinct sections and is a major addition to the repertoire by one of the most important British composers of the 20th century.
