'A Family Likeness' was written for The Society of Recorder Players in the UK and was a great success at its premiere in 2008. The music is characteristically that of Gavin Bryars and would be an ideal introduction to his unique sound world of slow moving pure harmonies and melodic ostinati that evoke expansive landscapes. This significant addition to modern recorder repertoire is a fantastic concert piece which is both accessible and musically rewarding, it can be performed by either six individual players or a larger group with multiple players per part.

Goin' Home, is based on the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak's famous Largo theme from his Symphony No. 9 (5) (From the New World), Op. 95. His symphony was composed while he was in America and was first performed by the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall on December 16, 1893. It has been said that Dvorak's themes in his symphony were inspired by American folk melodies, especially Afro-American or American Indian. But his themes are just as similar to Bohemian folk music and most likely from that music.

This arrangement is based on the one played in the movie Clear and Present Danger by the United States Air Force Band. It has been used at presidential funerals for the departure ceremonies at Andrews Air Force Base for Presidents Reagan and Ford and was used in 1998 for the dis-interment ceremony for the Vietnam Unknown at Arlington National Cemetery. It is still used today by military bands at Arlington.
