Bold as Brass is written for a brass quintet consisting of two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba. The work is designed to show to best advantage the varying qualities and abilities of each of these instruments, and accordingly there are solo passages and cadenzas for each. Hulford has experimented with each line as a “voice” and has manipulated and blended the differing timbres to excellent effect. The composition is in 3 movements. The first and third of these are reasonably fast and are somewhat aggressive in nature while the second is slower and reflective. The world premiere of the work occurred in Seoul, Korea, in October 1993 by members of the Korean National Orchestra. The work has not been performed in its entirety in New Zealand.

The Concerto was commissioned by Matthew Marshall and the Wellington Regional Orchestra (now Vector Wellington Orchestra), completed in May 1992 for a first performance planned for November 1992, and later postponed until May 1993.

This work is in three movements (quick – slow – quick), but these are connected by cadenza-like links for the guitar soloist, so that the music is continuous. In view of the balance problems in a guitar concerto I have written for a small orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, percussion and strings), and treated the relationship between solo and orchestra in a concertante style – sharing material rather than opposing each other, and aiming throughout to make the guitar easily audible. Dance rhythms, with touches of rhumba and jazz, predominate in the quick movements, while the slow central movement uses variable speed tremolo on the guitar to enhance its singing qualities.

What thing is love? for, well I wot love is a thing. It is a prick, it is a sting, It is a pretty pretty thing; It is a fire, it is a coal, Whose flame creeps in at every hole; And as my wit doth best devise, Love’s dwelling is in ladies’ eyes: From whence do glance love’s piercing darts That make such holes into our hearts; And all the world herein accord Love is a great and mighty lord, And when he list to mount so high, With Venus he in heaven doth lie, And evermore hath been a god Since Mars and she played even and odd. - George Peele (1558-1596)

There is plenty of variety in the four movements of this work scored for amateur orchestra, from the mysterious, minimalist quality in the first movement, to the energetic folksy humour of the last.

A sonata in three movements, composed while I was a student in Japan. The mood of the piece owes something to Shostakovich’s late Sonata for the same forces.

Scored for violin and cello this work has been dscribed as, “the most extended and dramatic composition on the album… This extraordinary work is a tour de force for violin and cello, rivettingly performed by Douglas Beilman and James Tennant.” Oliver Stead, Music in NZ “This is a powerful work, an angry work even, from the shuddering, shifting harmonies of the opening tremolo to a cello cadenza of almost Slavic intensity, and the recurring percussive effects the composer demands of her players.” William Dart, Music in NZ.
