Percussion

Commissioned by Canterbury College (Queensland, Australia), this work is a vibrant setting of Henry Van Dyke's poem which, in tribute to the late conductor, Theodore Thomas, celebrates all of the arts.

"Waratah" (for SATB choir, brass and percussion) was commissioned in 2001 by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs for premiere performance at the Sydney Opera House.

The poem 'Dew', by Australian poet Luke Davies, inspired me with its depiction of natural phenomena, flora and fauna, and with its allusion to the realm of sci-fi.

A setting of Judith Wright's extraordinary poem, "Night", arr. for SATB choir, piano, percussion & didgeridoo in C, for performance in 2008 by ProjectKoor, The Netherlands.
