Jim Parker's TV, film and theatre scores are much loved, with credits including Foyle’s War, House of Cards, Midsomer Murders and House of Elliott. He has won the British Academy Award for Best TV Music on no less than four occasions.

South American Journey shares Parker's genius for painting musical pictures and weaving memorable melodies. He'll even have you believing your recorder is a Peruvian pan-pipe! The piece was written as a tribute to the memory of his friend and near-neighbour Stephen Dodgson.

Tango Cinco and Pueblo Tranquilo were first performed in a concert celebrating the life and work of Stephen Dodgson in the Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall, Manchester University, on April 5th 2014, by John Turner (recorder) and Pamela Nash (harpsichord), and the premiere of the complete suite was given by John Turner (recorder) and Harvey Davies (harpsichord) at St.Bartholomew's Church, Church Minshull, Cheshire, on May 17th 2014. It is available in recorded form on the album Travelling Light: Music of Jim Parker on the Divine Art label.
