Cantilena duration: 4' The story behind this piece... We needed a birthday gift for a friend's 50th birthday. The only problem was that due to circumstances, we had not been able to get to the shops, or indeed put much thought to a gift that we wanted to be special. We had four days. I then decided…

Cheesy Whiskers Learns To Play The Harp is a magical story for children, introducing them to harp playing. They need no prior knowledge to enjoy its magic, with the story narrated thought, illustrated by glorious harp glissandi, plenty of nice tunes, and spiced with not a little mischief on the part of Cheesy Whiskers! That narration would ideally be read…
Flying Free for flute and piano began as an improvisation... with a difference: this duet was for one person! Luckily, this is something I have always enjoyed doing (albeit rather daft, but fun, never-the-less!) – and it came handy during Lockdown, when none of us could join anyone else. I recorded it...and I liked it, (even if holding the…
Forest in The Mist (for right hand) This little miniature was originally written for a pupil with a hand injury. I asked her what the music reminded her of, and she said it sounded like a "forest in the mist" which seemed perfect to me, for this soft, atmospheric little piece, so I chose that for the title. …
Free Spirit II Flute and piano duration: 4’ “out on the open hills, among the heather….” This little piece is about the wild, open places where we have silence, except for the wind.

Lament For Cello This is a true miniature at just nineteen bars long, which explores the diverse range of this beautiful instrument. It was originally written for the piano for a pupil who had injured her left hand... but to my ears, from the very moment I was writing it and whenever I play it on the piano, I…

Melodie (clarinet solo & piano acc.) This was originally written for two pupils to play, hence is a simple, melodic piece, although does have mordants that may be left out for a beginner)however, my friend who is a clarinetist tried it and exclaimed "this could be enjoyed by anybody, not just a beginner!" ...so I include it here, in…
Snowflake Waltz duration: approx. 1’ This little waltz started out as a light-hearted musical joke. Someone had commented a few days before, that one of my waltzes “does not sound like a waltz to me”: his argument being that the middle section was too flowing.... but did say that as it was my work I could call it what…
Soliloquy duration: 9’ Simply a “solo piece” for viola and piano. Still awaiting a player to give it a premier! It has a somewhat brooding quality with some warm moments interspersed.

Sostenere duration: 6’ 30” This piece was written for a pianist friend, and a friend of his whom I had never met. She was suffering from poor health and sadly was not able to play for an extended length of time, or play anything too challenging with regards to range. My friend was trying to find and arrange pieces…
Wandering By The Water, for piano and flute, was in fact, an improvisation, between myself and a pupil. I have always loved improvising, and enjoy passing this onto pupils, often unlocking the door to their hitherto hidden talents. On this occasion, both my pupil (on the piano ) and myself (on the flute, my second instrument) improvised together, to a…
