Arrangement of the famous Radetzky March by Johann Strauss. Includes deliberate ‘wrong’ notes for a bumbling bassoonist, a snake-charmer solo for the oboe player, a pompous ‘classical’ solo for the violinist and a sneaky minor key version of Pop-goes-the-weasel for the pianist.

Commissioned by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra to mark Tasmania’s Bicentenary, ‘River Mountain Sky’ suggests an impression of the beautiful island that has been my home since 1998. It celebrates a landscape of rivers and mountains, painted by orange and pink skies at dawn and dusk; a landscape crowned by dramatic cloud formations that give way to quiet nights when stars sparkle across a clear clean southern sky. ‘River Mountain Sky’ portrays mist over the estuary, sunshine dancing off a bright blue river and cascades of rushing water, yielding to darkness and the peace of evening.

I wrote this piece for the Howick College Concert Band, during a short stint as their conductor. The title is along a similar line to several titles used by jazz composer Sammy Nestico, such as Ya Gotta Try and Watch What Happens.

For concert band, in one movement, it incorporates jazz and funk styles and is suitable for average to advanced school bands.

Stellar Meditations is a series of musical meditations on “Ave Maris Stella” (Hail O Star of the Ocean) a popular liturgical chant of unknown origin. It can be dated back to at least the 9th century for it is preserved in the Codex Sangallensis, a 9th century manuscript now in the Swiss Monastery of St. Gallen.

Two sound images permeate the piece. One is an ocean image of gentle wave surges and is heard in the introduction. The other is a bell sound which appears in the mallet percussion instruments with resonances in the harmony of muted cornets and trombones. This harmony consists of perfect intervals; fourths and fifths which are subsequently spiced by bell-like tone qualities which create colourful brass sounds.

Structurally, Stellar Meditations consists of an introduction and three chorales separated by two interludes and followed by a coda. The chorales feature the full brass while the interludes and coda are delicately scored in a contrapuntal texture.

In 1985 Epsom Girls Grammar and Auckland Grammar Schools presented a double bill of two New Zealand plays. Under the overall title of “Family Benefits”, the plays were Anyway Sweet Christmas by Gordon Dryland, and Mister Bones and Mister Jones by Eve Hughes. Both plays dealt with the family unit and the search for success and recognition. The latter play also demanded a certain amount of incidental music.

Since the production the music has remained unused. At times I have considered extracting a suite of pieces from it, and in early 1991 five pieces were arranged as piano duets. These orchestral arrangements were made in 2004 as part of an on-going to project to give a new life to some of my incidental music written over the years for school productions.

The first and third pieces were originally purely instrumental, whereas the other three were songs. The scoring is a basic classical chamber orchestra (without timpani) including relatively simple percussion parts.
