(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). A moto perpetuo showpiece, Chatterbox! was commissioned by Joo Yeon Sir for performance in the Young Artist Series at St John Smith Square, London, in May 2016. The incessant babble implied by the title is aptly portrayed by the violin's spiccato bowing and chromatic figuration, as set against the boogie-woogie-style piano part. To add to the effect a metronome (set to 140 beats per minute) may be optionally be added. Alternative accompaniment for string orchestra is available on hire from Boosey & Hawkes.

The composition, created for acclaimed violinist Joo Yeon Sir, showcases a passacaglia structure that evolves from a mournful opening into a passionate display of advanced techniques, including double stops and pizzicato, before concluding peacefully. First performed at London's Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, it later became part of Cantata Memoria, honoring the victims of the 1966 Aberfan tragedy. This work is designed for advanced performers, with performance materials available for hire.

(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). Composed for Emma Halnan, winner of The Arts Club Sir Karl Jenkins Music Award 2016. The composer comments that "for the first ten years of this century, I lived and composed on the Gower Peninsula, an area of sandy beaches and dramatic cliff scenery with coastal caves; the first area in the UK to be officially designated as one of outstanding natural beauty. Living in an old mill alongside the Bury Pill stream, I wrote from a stable block, enjoying a vista across Cheriton Valley and the river to Ryers Down. This work is a musical reflection of time spent there." Suitable for advanced standard performers.
