String Quartet
Violin Duet
This piece was written for a memorial service and hence has a rather wistful quality to it. It has been performed many times at Junior Department Conservatoires, other memorial services and in concerts and recitals throughout the UK. It is tonal and melodious and so has a wide appeal.

Viola Solo
This viola solo in five movements was commissioned by Christel Baillie for a recital in Hamburg in 2004. Although difficult, it has been particularly taken on as an audition piece or for final recitals at Conservatoires in the UK. It has become customary to select movements as each can function as a piece in its own right. The style is tonal with a harmonic twist and in total is about 12 minutes long.
