- Brass Quintet, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS
- Short and Suite for Brass. OR Wild West Suite.
- £20.00 – £25.00
- Here's a little brass quintet I did in 1998. This is easy listening, and not too hard to play either. I couldn't settle on a title, both seemed to suit the music well, see below. Grade VI upwards.

- Brass Band, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS
- Sketches of Shetland
- £40.00 – £50.00
- Here is a five-movement, continuous twenty-minute piece depicting these beautiful islands. We first went there in 2008, and standing at the very top of Britain, at Hermaness, in freezing rain, watching the furious sea crashing on the rocks and the cliffs round the lighthouse, the gulls and terns whizzing around above the water, I knew this would be great for…

- Big Band Ensemble, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS
- Speedbird
- £15.00 – £20.00
- I’d had this tune going on for years, scribbled on a piece of paper somewhere. I showed it to Amos one time and said I’d never known what to do with it. He suggested his group, the Big Buzzard Boogie Band. Speedbird is a punchy piece, always driving forward, propelled by a ‘push’ in every bar. The featured solo is…

- Orchestral Works, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS
- SRI
- £150.00 – £160.00
- This is the first of 2 pieces in the style of Steve Reich. SRI is Sacro Romano Impero, the Holy Roman Empire, which of course was the First Reich. Har bleedin’ har. But I liked the title enough to keep it, because 3 stark capitals are a bit mechanical, as this sort of music is, and there’s also more than…

- Stevie Wonder goes to the Blaydon Races
- £15.00 – £20.00
- It’s a ubiquitous trick in a lot of pop music, to shift up a semitone every verse, possibly most memorably used in Stevie Wonder’s hit ‘I just called to say I love you’. This is the Blaydon Races tune exaggeratedly given the same manoeuvre, with the John Iveson middle section thrown in as well (see ‘Deck the Halls’).

- Suite in Compound Time
- £15.00 – £20.00
- See above, Orchestral Woodwind Section. I wrote this piece at college when I could sort of play the piano a little bit. There are 5 short movements, I think the whole piece is under 10 minutes. They are in increasingly long compound times, and are 1. Rushing Water (3/8); 2. Gaudy Tune in A major (5/8); Tombs (7/4); On The…
