This piece is a miniature (on a religious theme) for oboe and strings orchestra. It is related to Easter, as it evokes Jesus Christ walking on the way to his crucifixion on the so-called Via Dolorosa.

This work was first played at the Romanian Atheneum in April 2015:

Requiem Ballet.  Dance ballet piece of victory over death through God and salvation. Symbolic of resurrection on many levels; spiritual, memory of the tragic murder, the injustice of the trial procedures, the victimized innocence under Jim Crow law.  Emmett (Bobo) Till, risen from the death is as a live as ever until justice is served.  At the conclusion of the Lacrimosa Emmett's voice encourages us to weep no more for his cause but learn to love each other for our differences.  .

This piece shows the true meaning of its title! Courage and Bravery! The note soars right off the page with this quick and bold piece with flourishes and bold statements that will make your players feel brave in their performance. Excellent way to start and/or end a concert of a small but courageous orchestra!

This is from a suite of pieces written variously for recorder orchestra and for chamber orchestra The five movements are: 1 Meinau Rag 2 An Amble round Mercury 3 Pretty How Town 4 Landscape before sunrise 5 Little Laser Lady Each movement has its own story and reflects various places where the composer has lived or poems that have inspired him: Meinau Rag was written in honour of his 8 month stay in La Meinau, a suburb of Strasbourg, while teaching English at the nearby Hotellery School - it was one of several ragtimes, a style he experimented with on the guitar at that time. An Amble round Mercury refers to the pond and associated statue of Mercury in the centre of Tom Quad at his college, Christ Church Oxford. The ostinato theme is one that he has used on many pieces and was originally written to accompany a setting from the Book of Elijah - and in that day thou shalt say O Lord - in his college days. Pretty How Town, a perky and rhythmically complex piece, is based on the poem - anyone lived in a pretty how town by e.e.cummings. The more laid back Landscape before sunrise is based on a setting of many ways in which the world says Goodnight and is inspired by the view from the composer's 18th floor flat in Aldgate East overlooking a multicultural population. The rhythms of the original song Goodnight follow the phrases in each language: Good Night, buona notte, gute Nacht, kali nykhta, oyasumi nasai, nos da...etc Little Laser Lady, an upbeat end to the suite, is based on a poem by a friend of the composer, whose girlfriend (and wife to be) would always visit him in her Laser (a make of car in Australia) (She is the sun in the afternoon, she is the night's familiar, she comes on a beam of yellow gold light......) The orchestration is: Piccolo [except in the 4th movement], 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, Clarinet, Bassoon and string orchestra including double bass. The pdf file contains the score and separate parts. The sound sample is an electronic preview. Also available: all the scores together under the title Sweet 4 chamber orchestra.
