Borderlands

An original piece for Concert Band. Inspired by the border lands between England and Scotland we open as a new day emerges as the mists clear and the world awakes, then we move into a lively dance like motive based on the Northumbrian folk song "John Peel" which gradually emerges from the dance. Next we move into a soulful section of extended woodwind solos with the oboe and bassoon taking the initial lead. We finish up with a triumphant march section recognising the regions long martial traditions.

A lively piece with something for everyone in the band, excellent as either an opener or as a finale.

Other

Three Miniature for Four Bass Clarinets

An original piece for Bass Clarinet quartet in three movements. The first movement is in a lively march style, as the tune gets shared around the four parts it builds to a stirring climax. The second movement is a slow sad waltz, before moving on the a rhythmically more complicated fugue of a finale. The challenges of this piece of a more musical nature than of a technical one, this is a good introduction to playing the Bass Clarinet in an ensemble or chamber setting.

Folk Dance for Baritone Saxophone Quartet

An original piece for an unusual chamber group, this is an opportunity for Baritone Saxophone players to get together with a piece of music written specially for them.
