Tuba or Trombone and Piano, c.2'00. Grade 5 AMEB
This piece is inspired by the ocean and the sense of wonder it brings. The piano semi-quavers in the opening bars represent the sun sparkling on the water's surface. The lyrical, soaring phrases of the tuba take the listener deeper into the depths of the ocean, to the world of whales and other majestic sea creatures.
4 Euphoniums and 2 Tubas, c.8'00
The music manipulates the opening rhythmic material and displaces it using techniques similar to Steve Reich's phasing. However, the composr makes much of the sudden juxtapositions between phased and unison sections rather than composing transitional material.
Full set of parts also included in treble clef.

Tuba and piano c.8'00
It is based on a series of chords that cycle through at different speeds throughout the piece, recalling some of the cyclic manners of thought of eastern philosphy, while not actually subscribing to any of them particularly. Composed 2011
