Set includes 2 performance scoresMoon Marked (2016) was written for trumpeter Chris Gekker. A figure (acciaccatura-like) is heard at the very start of the work. It forms the basis of the piece's musical material. The loose poetic image behind the music is one of internal transformation after passing through a shared experience. Some astronauts have commented on how they are forever changed by their interstellar voyages and that their life back on earth is not quite the same. After the largely energetic opening section, two slower inner sections explore different landscapes; in the second of these sections, the two instruments are uncoordinated metrically (freely floating in their own space). The opening music returns, but with differences this time. Instrumentation: Clarinet and Trumpet Duration: 6' Composed: 2016 Published by: Zimbel Press.

Drawing inspiration from a large-scale canvas by painter Philip Guston, this two-movement, half-hour concerto for two percussionists and orchestra uses strict notation, passages in which certain details of the score are left up to the performers, and even - for the soloists - moments of total freedom. Commissioned by BBC Radio 3, Old Shoe, New Shoe was premiered on 19 May 2019 by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Ilan Volkov, with percussionists Joey Baron and Robyn Schulkowsky performing the solo parts.

“Being Russian born I have a strong connection to the ballet scores of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, and as a result in theWild Swans, more than in any other work of mine, I allowed myself the freedom to roam through 200 years of musical genres, ranging from Hungarian Operetta through folk music and even including the influences of jazz and popular music,†says Elena Kats-Chernin. The full-length work, which premiered in Sydney in 2003, was written for choreographer Meryl Tankard after the two artists had already worked together for the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, and became one of the composer's greatest successes. Many excerpts in various arrangements have a concert life of their own today - including the world-renowned Eliza Aria. Arranged by the composer in 2004 for violin and piano after the original orchestral version, the half-hour suite comprises ten characteristic movements: Green Leaf Prelude, Eliza Aria, Brothers, Wicked Witch (piano solo), Magic Spell Tango, Glow Worms, Darkness of the Forest, Eliza and the Prince, Mute Princess, Transformation.

Repeated phrases in the melody and text make the piece an ideal choice for any unison or two-part choir.
