--INSTRUMENTAL--

Paranoic Rhapsody a Sublimation of Liszt - for solo 'cello. A reworking of my Opus 1, gypsy romanticism is over taken by electronic-like sounds and a modern intensity.

Paranoic Rhapsody a Sublimation of Liszt - arranged for 'cello duet or cello section. A reworking of my Opus 1, gypsy romanticism is over taken by electronic-like sounds and a modern intensity.

Apparition of B-A-C-H in a Cubist Piano Piece - my personal answer to serialisms' defiance and denial of tonal gravity. In the extract you will hear the pianist stepping on, cutting off and crushing the opening of an atonal fugue. The piece somehow compresses all the emotions and events of 4 months of my life into 4 minutes.

Variations and Revelations from the Ballo Del Granduca - for organ. A set variations based on Sweelinck's setting. Influenced by the artists Dali and Francis Bacon. UPDATE: 11/11/02 I have substantially revised the notation and layout.

Peace - for two flutes - evokes calm ancient organum singing.

Lament - for two flutes - written unusually quickly - capturing my mood.

Sarcastic Invention - for two flutes - a 2-voice invention goes astray until the two flutists musically spit at each other.

Toccata - a single is blurred (5 over 4, 3 over 2) amongst the flutes.

Passacaglia - for Octet: clarinet, horn, bassoon and solo strings. The repeating bass pattern comes from my love of Bach's C minor. Schubert wrote a long work in F major for the same ensemble. Do you treat it as 8 single lines, a small orchestra, winds vs. strings, or one big organ stop? I tried all of those.
