An “aubade” is a morning song; counterpart of a nocturne, it is literally a “song of the dawn.” The brightness of this Aubade is in simplicity, calmness, and tonal warmth. Written as an afterthought to the Rococo Sonatina, it shares some of the same influence of light jazz and impressionism, yet melded more to a modern chamber music aesthetic than an ancient one.

The piano opens with a simple three-note theme over a calm progression of seventh chords. Echoed by the flute, the theme develops into a more flowing and graceful line, ultimately resolving on a wistful note. A brisk, bird-like section follows, elevating the mood as the flute flutters and the piano scurries. A pensive cadenza leads the music back to the serene calm of the introduction, which leads to a final jazz progression that concludes the music in a different key.

Between the Reeds was composed in 1987-1988 for two musically talented young ladies from Oswestry, Olwen and Fiona Lyntern. Besides the obvious reference o the oboe’s double reed, the title can also be viewed as a sound picture of wild life swimming between the reeds in the stream.

This work for tenor saxophone has been described as a “beautiful and craftsman-like piece…” by Rod Biss, in the NZ Listener; as “growing particularly strikingly from the lilting opening motif and the lurching and drooling phrases which answer it;” by Richard Bolley in Music in NZ and as having “..a strong jazz flavour.” by Philip Brownlee, in Music in NZ.

‘Roll Jordan Roll’ (movement one) is a series of genre variations on the African-American spiritual of the same name. The melody was transcribed from a 78rpm recording of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and in turn, this appeared on the 1962 Folkways LP entitled An Introduction to Gospel Song. In my version, the listener will hear my own harmonization followed sequentially by pastiches of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Lennie Tristano, Anton Webern, and Thelonious Monk, in turn.

‘Dangdut’ (movement two) is a direct transcription of an Indonesian street musician called Mas Sujud. He and the tune appeared on a 1982 Kiwi-Pacific Records Ltd./Hibiscus Records LP called Music for Sale (Indonesian street music recorded by Jack Body). In the original, the singer accompanies himself on a small drum, and in my version, the piano part was generated solely by the notes in the melody and rhythms played by the drum. The sax part plays the melody.

This piece was recorded in 1991 by Taimur Sullivan (sax) and Allissa Eells (piano) with funding from the American (then Minnesota) Composers Forum.

This specially commissioned work was first performed at the 1988 International Festival of the Arts in Wellington. The musical material is derived fromt he piano’s opening bar, and the resulting style combines the appealing simplicity of triadic harmonies with mathematical processes. There are three clear sections marked by the changes from flute to alto flute and back: outer sections exploiting the clarity and brilliance of the usual C flute, and a rich cantabile middle section for the larger (so deeper) alto flute where the piano provides a gentle accompaniment built on a a slowly contracting ostinato-like figure.
