HISTORY Richard is often commissioned to compose the music for historical docu-dramas like "Bloody Britain" (Discovery), "Storm From the East" (BBC2) and "The Gunpowder Plot" (ITV1). The brief is often to provide a modern perspective on historical styles, and the tracks on this page demonstrate that.
