Pastorale

Duration: 18' 00" Year: 2004
for solo clarinet and chamber orchestra

  • Instrumentation
    solo clarinet in A; 1111; 1110, harpsichord (or pf), strs
  • Programme Note

    While the piece follows in a large part a pastoral ideal, darker elements at times emerge within the musical flow. I was thinking about the less savoury aspects of our ‘clean green’ country, the hidden (and not so hidden) consequences of land clearances and modern farming practices which are not in harmony with the environment. This lends the piece an almost elegiac quality, aided by the solo clarinet’s distinctive timbre and a repeated chorale heard near the end of each movement.

Symphony No.3 - Remembered songs

Duration: 19' 00" Year: 2002
for orchestra

Score Sample
  • Instrumentation
    3223; 4231; timpani; percussion: 2 Side drums, cymbals, suspended cymbals, tamtam; harp ; strings
  • Programme Note

    This Symphony is dedicated to the memory of my wife, Raydia, who died in 2001, and is based on material from my song-cycle, In Despite of Death, a work that she had been closely associated with. The Symphony follows the emotional shape of the song-cycle, moving from struggle and resistance towards acceptance. The first movement is the most substantial, and near the beginning introduces a three-note figure (on horns and trumpet), which permeates the whole work. The three final movements – scherzo, slow march and epilogue – are played without a break.

Xylophone Concerto

Duration: 19' 00" Year: 2007, r. 2009
for xylophone and orchestra

Score Sample
  • Instrumentation
    2(picc)22(bcl)2; 221Btbn0; 2perc; pn; strings(88663min) xylophone solo
  • Programme Note

    We often think of the xylophone as an inexpressive colour instrument, best suited for slapstick cartoon music or to fortify those wonderful orchestral tutti by Shostakovich. However after hearing Brent Stewart play a virtuosic piece by a classmate of mine I realised that in the right hands a xylophone is actually not the ‘joke instrument’ it is commonly perceived to be. In its lower range it is capable of (almost) marimba-like sostenuto sonorities and its high range is brilliant and commanding, capable of cutting through the entire orchestra.

    The Xylophone Concerto was written for percussionist Brent Stewart.
