- Details for wind quintet
-
I wrote "Details" initially as a duo for violin and guitar back in 1976, but this wind quintet recreation of the piece is great fun and would make a splendid addition to your repertoire.
This video here is based on an electronic preview (because the only live recording, by the Thalia Quintet back in the 1990s, went missing).
The Score and Parts are available at MusicaNeo on

- Wine and water

Among the many pieces I have recently uploaded to MusicaNeo is this rather sweet setting of a satirical poem by G K Chesterton, in which the main subject is Noah's predilection for wine (I don't care where the water goes, if it doesn't get into the wine...).
I also made a video for this song -

It is one of the first songs I ever composed.

This piece was originally written for bagpipes, but it works well for an ensemble of sax, flutes, basses and percussion (the basses can be contrabasses or bass guitars)
This version was created with Sonar X1, but for live performances, the score is available on musicaneo.com

performed by the late Chris Benson and David W Solomons also in 1975
(sight-reading from the original pencil manuscript!)

The story behind this piece is lost in the mists of time, even my cellist in this performance didn't know the full story!
It concerned another cellist and a weekend of emotional turmoil. The music was ...
