An account of patients’ concerts at Horton in the mid-1980s exemplifies what I aimed to portray in my three pieces – to represent emerging healed souls. A member of hospital staff describes how he saw a lady with a bad limp who never spoke amble over to a piano; after warming up she started playing classical music with the proficiency of a professional concert pianist. Hitherto the nurse had seen only a psychiatric patient with a bad leg; he then realised that as a psychiatric nurse he should have been more aware that many of the mentally ill patients he had known were normal people who had just as many talents as other people.
