On the Fiddle is the collective title for a trilogy of pieces drawn from three of Nyman's film scores for the film director Peter Greenaway. Full Fathom Five comes from Nyman's setting of one of Shakespeare's lyrics in The Tempest, as used in the 1991 film Prospero's Books. Angelfish Decay is based on a sequence of music from A Zed and Two Noughts (1985). Miserere Paraphrase, was written for the film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989), and was originally a setting of the Miserere text of Psalm 51, and sung in the film by a boy soprano and mixed chorus.
