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’.

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.

This work was commissioned by the Manukau City Concert Band (cond. Kathleen Mulligan), on the occasion of their 40th anniversary. By chance, at time of writing, it was also the 10-year anniversary of another work of mine, Earthbound Wings, a symphonic poem for wind orchestra. Said work is, to say the least, warlike, and Skirmish In Seven echoes part of it in its use of 7/8 meter coupled with insistent snare drum ostinati. The ‘skirmish’ of the title is also reflected by clear juxtapositions of sections that contrast in both instrumentation and mood: just when you think we are in a gentle, consonant frame of mind, along comes the dissonance and percussiveness.

I wrote this piece for the Howick College Concert Band, during a short stint as their conductor. The title is along a similar line to several titles used by jazz composer Sammy Nestico, such as Ya Gotta Try and Watch What Happens.

For concert band, in one movement, it incorporates jazz and funk styles and is suitable for average to advanced school bands.

I wrote this piece for the Howick College Concert Band, during a short stint as their conductor, and revised it in 2010 for the Carmel College Jazz Band and the St Peter’s College Junior Band.
