Divisions on a Ground

Richard Harvey began playing the recorder at the age of four. After graduating from the Royal College of Music in 1972 he worked with early music ensemble Music Reservata before joining fellow RCM alumnus Brian Gulland in forming the prog/rock/folk band Gryphon.

Later work found him recording with Sir Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, Elvis Costello, Johgn Williams and many more. In the mid 70s he became increasingly involved in composing film and television and in 1991 his collaboration with Costello on Alan Bleasdales GBH won them a joint BAFTA.

More recently he scores The Da Vinci Code and played on such films as The Lion King, Enemy of the State and Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.
