1 - 6 Earthbound Wings (2001)
  This symphonic poem for wind orchestra was my response to becoming involved in the armed forces as a sensitive, pacifistic musician! The themes and mood of the piece move from majestic, to march-like, to climactic (death / destruction), to elegaic. The piece was premiered at the 2001 NZCBA National Festival.

9 - 11 O'Jonathan's Concerto (2001)   links below
    I embarked upon the composition of this concerto when I had just taken up the Irish Whistle and begun to participate in pub seisiuns. The first movement, 'if I sit this one out', is directly influenced by the idea of a musician sitting there trying to pick up the tunes. The second movement, 'clouds drift on silver wings', evokes a more ethereal mood, while the third movement, 'saltare' (Italian: to jump) comes from my love of medieval dance music and its predominantly joyous character.
