Originally, A Jazz Burlesque was composed as a piano solo. It was later arranged for accordion trio, then for accordion orchestra. This string arrangement followed for the all female string ensemble ‘String Silhouette’.

flute and optional piccolo, oboe, clarinet 1, 2 and 3, alto clarinet, bass clarinet; alto saxophone 1 and 2, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet 1 and 2, horn in F, trombone, baritone, tuba, bass; percussion

This arrangement is based on a previous arrangement of the piece, which I had made for various combination. It was made for my ex-colleague Mary Siew and her band at Shanghai American School, prior to a planned visit there in early 2007.

New Zealand is too young a country to have a true ‘folk’ tradition and much traditional folk music is really variats of earlier British songs, often with local names and places substituted for the originals. In this piece it deals with the seas and the lives of sailors.

My source for some of the folk song arrangements I’ve made is Neil Colquhoun’s collection Songs of a Young Country: New Zealand Folksongs published over thirty years ago.

This fanfare for full orchestra was “…refreshing… (Its) gradual thickening of layers of bird calls to abrasive Varesian dissonances near the end had a concise dramatic momentum and coherence.” lan Dando, NZ Listener. (It) “…begins with sounds that could only be New Zealand ones.” LCM Saunders, NZ Herald.

solo cor anglais, flute, horn in F, strings

In 2010, I co-wrote The Lover’s Knot with playwright Renee Liang as part of the 2010-2011 Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra Composer Workshops, which led to a performance with actor Stuart Devenie and conductor Kenneth Young. Stuart played the role of Walter Bolton, the last man given the death penalty in New Zealand, in the hours before his execution.

Various instruments represent various characters in this story – clarinet for Bolton’s flighty paramour Florence, contrabassoon for the stench of death, and harmon-muted trombones for the justice system. Bolton’s ailing wife Beatrice is represented by extensive solos for the cor anglais. At the request of Lee Martelli, Education Manager of the APO, I excerpted one of these into a demonstration piece for an education concert.
