This work is an hommage to the piano-four hand waltzes and hungarian rhapsodies of Johannes Brahms (with tougue firmly in cheek, comme d’habitude).

Four preludes composed on the eve of the new millennium in December 2000. The first prelude is a short piece in folk style (subsequently enlarged upon as movement four of A Little Suite for Yuji and Rieko for violin and piano); the second is an arrangement of the traditional Japanese folk song Sakura Sakura, and is dedicated to Trish Fagan and Owen Cameron on the occasion of their marriage in December 2000. The third prelude is more spacious in feeling, composed entirely on the white keys of the piano, while the fourth is the liveliest piece of the set, and is based on a Chinese folk song; the original melody is heard at the very end of the piece.

The first performance of preludes one to three was given by Donald Nicholls, clarinet, and Helen Webby, harp, at an outdoors performance in the Hamilton Gardens Festival of March 2001.

“And going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, saying ‘O my Father if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as thou wilt.’”

“And these appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down on the ground.”

Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:43-44

This piece was composed in 2000 for a commission from the Waikato Symphony Orchestra.



It has been an extremely interesting exercise to familiarise myself with this piece after so many years – revisiting old thoughts, composition practices, not to mention the memories dredged up in the process. Although quite an early work for me, it is one in which I still have quite a soft spot for. The harmonic and melodic world is for the most part steeped in diatonic tonality, but there are occasional forays into less traditional areas.


During the time that I was writing this piece my father passed away and to a large extent, in saecula saeculorum was influenced by this loss. In essence I think this piece is a reflection of that time which was in many ways an attempt to confront and make sense of my family’s loss.

Murmures 2 was composed in 2000 for the New Zealand clarinet trio Solaris, and was performed by the group at the ‘Clarinetfest 2000’ in Oklahoma, USA, in July of that year. It is the second of a series of swirling but delicate sounding pieces for various ensembles.

Rhythm and texture are important aspects of Murmures 2 which means ‘sonic ripples’, and the gentle, fluid-like, undercurrents of sounds are splashed with occasional turbulences.

Murmures 2 was recorded by 175 East in August 2000.
