2009 – Sea Shanty Dance, for String Orchestra.  Duration: 4 minutes.

This short piece began life as a piece of incidental music by the same title in a children’s musical, Sea Shanty For A King, for which I wrote the tunes to the songs. The Musical was the brainchild of Phil Bennett, the head mistress of Herne Hill Primary School in London, and I had the wonderful privilege of writing the music for it in the early 1990s. The show was performed four times to parents of the children of the school and was a huge success at the time.  I decided that many of the melodies could be incorporated into my concert pieces and this piece is one such example. It can be enjoyed by both professionals and students alike. It is rhythmic and tuneful, with  a Russian folk song flavour.

There are two arrangements available:

No. 1 – School arrangement:  for Violins 1, 2 and 3, cellos 1 and 2 

No. 2 – Standard:  for Violins 1 and 2, viola, cello and Double Bass.

2009 – Examination in progress, for junior string orchestra. Commissioned by Gary Woolf. Duration: approx 4 minutes.

This short piece is comical in character and will have people smiling! It began life as a solo piano piece back in 1980 when I was at school and stressing over my first secondary school exams. Everywhere I looked in my school I was confronted with signs that read, “Silence! Examination In Progress�. A comical tune started up in my head and before I knew it it grew into a piano piece, which I wrote down and played daily to help myself cope with the stress of exams. When Gary asked for another Banda piece, I was excited to give this early little savior another chance at life as a piece for junior strings.

Two arrangements available;

School Arrangement: for; Violins 1, 2 and 3, Cello 1 and 2.

 Standard: for Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.

Requested by Gary Woolf for the Banda di Musica, this piece is a slightly simplified arrangement of my Septet’s slow 4th movement. The cello solo remains the same apart from the harmonics, which have been transferred as ordinary high notes to a solo violin. This will make the piece much more approachable for younger players.

There are two Arrangements; 

 School Arrangement –  Violins 1, 2 and 3 and Cellos 1 and 2. 

The cello solo is played by the lead cellist and is written on the Cello 1 part.

Standard Arrangement – Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. Again, the cello solo is played by the lead cellist.

Written in May 2013 – Duration; approx. 10 minutes

Standard of solo parts; Approx. Grade 7/8

There are 4 arrangements available:

No.1 – School Arrangement – 2 Solo violins, Violins 1, 2 and 3 and cellos. The cello part does divide into 2 in places throughout.

No.2 – Standard Arrangement – 2 solo violins, Violins 1 and 2, violas, cellos and double basses

No.3 – Piano reduction – for 2 solo violins and piano

No. 4 – Arrangement for Flute, violin and piano

 

The piece is light-hearted and tuneful and in simple ternary form. The outer sections are perky, playful and dance-like, and they frame a slow, luscious middle section where the soloists have some high harmonics.

I would guess that the orchestral players would need to be at about Grade 4/5 upwards to manage this comfortably.

Andante For Solo Violin and Strings - School Arrangement

Duration – about 8 minutes

There are three arrangements available;

School – for Solo Violin, Violins 1, 2 and 3, Cellos 1 and 2.  

Standard – for Solo Violin, Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.  

Violin and piano.  

 Andante For Solo Violin And Strings was written in July 2018 for Gary Woolf, flautist and conductor of the Banda Di Musica, the youth string orchestra at the music school in Greven / Emsdetten / Saerbeck in Germany.

The piece begins with a beautiful, melodic Andante where the melody alternates between the violin solo and the orchestra and giving out a mood of wistful calm. This soon leads into a lively folk-like Moderato Dance section with a great catchy tune and punchy rhythms. These two different sections compliment one another, adding variety and excitement as they repeat themselves half way through so that both melodies get plenty of work-out! The piece would very much suit young players, although amateurs and professionals alike can enjoy it.

Instrumentation: Treble Recorder Solo, Harp, Violin1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass
There is quite a lot of divisi in all of the string parts, so at least 6 players per part is preferable, except double basses where 2 players minimum are needed.

Written in 1990, the Concertino For Treble Recorder, Strings And Harp, was requested by recorder player Ruth Whatley. Ruth and I were at the London College of Music together during this time. We worked together to rehearse the piece and eventually it was given a run-through by a group of string players and harpist, Alice Trentham (also at the college with us at the time). It still awaits its premiere! One day I hope I can post up a recording of this beautiful piece.

A friend who attended its “play through� described it as being like “the South American Rain Forests�, which I thought was a beautiful, and very fitting description.

Duration: Approximately 15 minutes

All of the parts are challenging so this is not a piece for junior players.

Written in April 2014 for Gary Woolf and the Banda Di Musica, the Hymn for strings is dedicated to my husband Bob Green.

As its title suggests, the character of this piece is slow, thoughtful and strong. There is a violin solo throughout, to be played by the Leader, which weaves in and out of the texture.

The parts are of a fairly easy and straightforward standard.

Duration: approximately 6/7 minutes

There are 2 arrangements:

NO. 1 – School Arrangement:  Violins 1,2,3 and Cello

September 2011-Duration 4 minutes 30 seconds.  Written for Gary Woolf and the Banda Di Musica.

This short waltz is named after an imaginary, childhood character of mine – a magic toy-maker. Its 2 melodies span 36 years. The first tune came to me when I was 8 years old and on holiday in the Co.Donegal town of Buncrana, west Ireland. Back then there was a small shop on Buncrana’s high street that sold everything from milk to DIY tools. And the name of the shop was “John Thinn And Son�. I thought this was an awesome name and I remember the shop owner, the real Mr. Thinn, being a lovely kindly, rather shy and gentle man. And this inspired my childhood mind’s character of Mr.Thinn the magic-toy maker.  The 2nd theme arrived in September 2011 as soon as I had decided that Mr.Thinn’s first tune had waited long enough and now needed to find a permanent home. Once again writing for the wonderful Banda di musica has given me a unique chance to release an old and very special melody that has lain neglected and home-less for over 3 decades. The resulting piece is light hearted, fun and in a simple ABA form.

There are 2 arrangements;

No. 1 – School Arrangement ; Violins 1, 2 and 3, Cellos 1 and 2


No. 2 – Standard Arrangement ; Violins 1 and 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass

There are a few violin and cello solos throughout which are to be played by the section leaders. These are of moderate difficulty.
