I did intend to sit down and compose an orchestral epic. I really, really DID, honest. Could I help it that as soon as I made that decision, the saxes started up a 1920s tea dance in my computer?! Only it’s not all sweetness and light and good ol’ days, in fact it sometimes gets a little murky in there, to say the least…

This work was written to celebrate the opening of the studio of Palmerston North artist, Annabel Neall. The French Overture seemed appropriate for an artist and the inclusion of the hymn is recognition of the Nealls’ further interests. As a French Overture it features the usual slow introduction featuring the dotted rhythm, followed by a more lively contrapuntal allegro.

Huff is both the act of exhaling, and the sound of air moving through a wind instrument. The piece starts as a saxophonist would: after the instrument comes out of its case and gets put together, the first thing the player does is blow warm air.

I wanted to write something that would work for both professional quartets such as Saxcess, and proficient school ensembles in both SATB and AATB formation. As a composition, it didn’t come together straight away: the 12/8 time signature sidetracked me into a maniacal type of Mexican banda music, which turned into a work called Banda Chiflada. That and Huff are very different in character, but they are still two pieces cut from the same compound time cloth.

This work was purpose-written upon request from one of the schools I work in, as a companion piece for my solo work Hazine (Treasure). The musical material here needed to be in a similar vein: that is, using exotic modality in a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean style, which in this case alternates with a more jazz-fusion-based, contemporary sound.

The title originates from a tale by the great storyteller Nasreddin Hoca, called ‘Hide and Seek’. The protagonist says at the end “If you do not look in your own heart first, then you will not find wisdom”. My work consists of 5 short, intuitively-composed ‘meditations’, linked together by either solo saxophone cadenza-like passages, or pianistic interludes.

To reflect a little upon the purpose of this work’s composition, the last of said meditations is actually ‘old wine in new bottles’, so to speak: it revamps and then develops, in a written-out improvisation, a melody and accompaniment I composed when in my final year of high school, seeing as I was writing this for an advanced student in their own final year of high school.

Release was written just after Chris completed his undergraduate study at the University of Canterbury. Originally composed for his violin teacher Susan Farmer, who premiered the work, Release has since been performed around New Zealand and the United Kingdom. “It was the first piece that I wrote that wasn’t being written for a portfolio, so I didn’t have to write it and it wasn’t being assessed. I just wanted to write something beautiful and following four years of study, I just had this sense of freedom and release.”

This adaptation for bassoon and piano was written for Ben Hoadley.
