The composer writes, "Analyse and Interpret was originally written in 2006 as a sister piece to Waiting For a Pain Hit!??!!? Along with ‘Pain Hit’ it was my first composition since graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

 

The piece remained un-played until 2013, when several Euphonium players asked me if I had an un-accompanied work they could use. After a major re- working the piece, in it’s current form, was premiered by James McLeod at the RWCMD. 

 

Analyse and Interpret is written without bar-lines and without any performance directions - the aim for this being to give as much musical freedom to the performer as possible. Indeed, the title gives a concise explanation for my hopes for the piece - study it and make it your own! There is no right or wrong, only self-expression.”
