Yvette Audain

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 2011
for four alto saxophones

Programme Note

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?!

for bassoon and piano

Programme Note

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.
