Egypt

In 1972, Delia provided music for four programmes about Egypt:

• Music of Africa - Tutankhamun's Trumpet for a radio programme by Jack Aistrop whose tape is dated March 1972
• Tutankhamun's Egypt, broadcast on 2nd April 1972
• Egypt Series, broadcast on 4th June 1972
• the Egypt item in a BBC one-off programme Chronicle Magazine: Egypt, Rome and Britain, broadcast on the 25th August 1972.

The musical relationship between all these works is unclear.
