On the Way to the Airport is a multi movement piece which incorporates various moods one often experiences before air travel.

The five short movements are entitled:

1. Florist – Oops a Daisy – a reference to a florist near the Auckland International Airport. The rhythm of the name of the florist can be heard in the tuba part
2. Shore Shuttle – a shuttle bus route from North Shore City
3. Doubts – this slightly scary slow movement hints at feelings of indecision and flying jitters
4. Where’s My Passport? – a crazy waltz influenced by some wonderful circus music which the composer heard in Le Cirque Baroque’s performance of Voltaire’s Candide in London’s East End
5. Terminal Traffic – in which bustling, excited sounds stimulate the adrenalin before the actual flight.

On the Way to the Airport was completed in 2009 and was first performed at an ensemble competition organised by the Brass Bands Association of NZ in Christchurch on 8 November 2009.

Riffs ’n Ructions is a fun piece for brass band. As the title implies repeated rhythmic patterns(riffs) are subjected to interruptions(ructions). In the fast sections the percussion section provides the ructions. In the first slow, lyrical section a quintet of instruments is interrupted by loud chords from the larger band.

The piece is rhythmically charged with quasi- ragtime patterns contrasted by dramatic textures. In the latter, repeated regular rhythmic patterns are disturbed by irregular ones.

Riffs ’n Ructions opens out on two occasions for improvisations by the solo cornet and solo euphonium. Both players are asked to improvise on previous rhythmic ideas.

This work was created with support of the Centre for New Zealand Music (SOUNZ) Community Commission.

It was first performed by 100 brass and percussion players from the Nelson Brass Academy conducted by Nick Sharpe at the Nelson School of Music on 10 April 2011.
