After a dream... a melody to die for, perfectly shaped but very emotional. I have added a little repeat of the opening phrase to round off the melody, in the French style.

Arctic Funk might just as well have been a flashing sequel to a scene from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.
Popular music but with a difference, as indicated by the title.
The work's quiet section temporarily soothes down the heated passion of its two corner movements, but everywhere else action is required throughout.
The work was commissioned in 1991 by Troms? Brass. Situated just above the Polar Circle, Troms? is one of Norway's northernmost towns. Topographically, the town probably comes across as freezing cold, but Troms? is famous for its 'warm' night-life.
The Composer: In Arctic Funk you might get a feeling of a party that takes place between ice-rocks and snow-capped mountains.

Arduus ad Solem (Striving towards the Sun) was the original motto of the University of Manchester, who asked me to write an opening fanfare for them. It’s something a bit different, with a broad fanfare theme followed by a continuous drive through the piece as the band works it’s way heavenwards.

Argyll Variations was commissioned in 2015 by the Scottish Brass Band Association for the National Children's Band of Scotland and premiered by them in Dunblane Cathedral in July that year.
There are three elements to the variations, the most important being the fact that they are all constructed from the melody Bonnie Mary of Argyll. Each variation is also named after a location on the A82, the area's main highway.
So, we have an angular march for the busy port of Tarbert, a sad and lonely Westport Beach, a neat and ordered minuet for Inveraray, and the twinkling lights over the water as you approach Lochgilphead. The road ends in Campbeltown, where there is always a ceilidh on the go!
Each variation also contains a strong element of music that has influenced the composer through the years. Indeed, he is keen for you to work out what these are!
