This composition in two distinct parts, of classical and baroque inspiration, evokes a stay in the beautiful Quercy region, in particular in Rocamadour.
In the first movement, Confidence, it evokes stories, stories the tales of yesteryear shared in a peaceful and serene setting, like that of the landscapes calm and picturesque views around Rocamadour. The melody seems to whisper secrets offering an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and contemplative.
Then, in the more rhythmic part, the Dance comes alive with energy.
Its rhythm reflects the joyful and festive spirit of local traditions.
We can imagine a lively dance, perhaps inspired by festivals and celebrations which take place in Rocamadour, where the music resonates
through the cobbled streets and old city walls.

Cette composition en deux parties distinctes, d'inspirations classique et baroque,
évoque un séjour dans la belle région quercynoise, en particulier à Rocamadour.

Dans le premier mouvement, Confidence, celui-ci évoque les récits, les histoires
les contes d'antan partagés dans un cadre paisible et serein, comme celui des paysages
calmes et des vues pittoresques autour de Rocamadour. La mélodie semble murmurer des secrets
offrant une atmosphère à la fois nostalgique et contemplative.

Ensuite, dans la partie plus rythmée, la Danse s'anime avec énergie.
Son rythme reflète l'esprit joyeux et festif des traditions locales.
On peut imaginer une danse vivante, peut-être inspirée des fêtes et
des célébrations qui ont lieu à Rocamadour, où la musique résonne à
travers les rues pavées et les vieux murs de la ville.

Under orders from General George Washington at the height of the Revolutionary War, a spy ring was organized for the purpose of providing critical information on the movement of British forces in the New York area. This dynamic work for band hints at the sense of danger and intrigue at the heart of this operation. The opening strains are propelled by an underlying rhythmic layer with flashes of color from the winds and percussion. A reflective middle section features soloistic passages with lush harmonies, and offers a calming mood before the fast tempo returns for the dynamic finish. Dur: c. 7:45 (MusicWorks).

Shadowplay is a descriptive, impressionistic work inspired by an early morning walk along the beach of the composer's home in Vancouver, Canada. The music reflects the play of light and shadow with the rising of the sun through the trees. It begins calmly, with the sunrise as the light melts the shadows. The piece develops with the sounds and sights of nature; seagulls floating in the air and the crashing of the waves. Shadow becomes light ; light becomes shadow. The music ebbs and flows as the sun rises higher on the horizon. Shadowplay features a variety of tonal colors and textures, orchestration which is sometimes haunting and transparent, sometimes rich and lush, yet always evocative. After a dramatic build, the music subsides, with all of the melodies interweaving like a tapestry of light and dark and ending as it began, with emotional sensitivity. Features, lyrical solos by soprano saxophone, flute and flugelhorn. An ideal piece for concert or festival use to display sensitivity and dynamics.

Fort Fincastle was built in the Bahamas in 1793, constructed in the form of a ship’s bow so as to fool passing ships. The opening bars of Fincastle Overture reflect the form of the magnificent stronghold, before a heroic theme is heard in which the fort comes under repeated attack, and just about survives!

Fort Fincastle werd in 1793 in Nassau gebouwd, de hoofdstad van de Bahamas. De oprichter ervan, Lord Dunmore, gaf het fort een bijzonder vorm: een cirkelvormig gebouw met een puntige uitbouw, in de vorm van een boeg of voorstevenvan schip. Dit was bedoeld om vijandige schepen te misleiden. De klanken van de eerste maten verwijzen naar de contouren van een majestueus verdedigingsbolwerk, waarna een heldhaftig thema volgt. Maar na het afslaan

Fort Fincastle wurde 1793 in Nassau, der Hauptstadt der Bahamas, gebaut. Der Erbauer, Lord Dunmore, gab dem Gebäude eine runde Form mit einem spitzen Aufbau in Form eines Bugs, der vorbeifahrende Schiffe täuschen sollte. Die ersten Takte der Fincastle Overture spiegeln die Form der prachtvollen Verteidigungsanlage wider, bevor ein heldenhaftes Thema erklingt. Nur scheinbar ruhig sind die Stunden der Wache, die immer wieder von Angriffen unterbrochen werden, denen das stolze Fort aber zuletzt zu trotzen vermag.

Le Fort Fincastle fut érigé en 1793, Nassau, capitale des Bahamas. Le constructeur, Lord Dunmore, alors gouverneur de Virginie, fut plus que déçu par la structure ronde l’arrière du b timent alors que l’avant se présentait en pointe comme la proue d’un navire. Les premières mesures de Fincastle Overture reflètent la forme du magnifique système de défense alors que survient un thème héro que : le fort est attaqué et les vaillants soldats sont amenés se défendre. Le Fort résiste orgueilleusement !

Fort Fincastle fu costruito nel 1793 a Nassau, la capitale delle isole Bahamas. Il costruttore diede all’edificio una forma rotonda con un tetto a punta, quasi a ricordare un castello. Le prime misure di Fincastle Overture riflettono la straordinaria bellezza del forte e anticipano un tema eroico, che ricorda la sua funzione di difesa. La calma è solo apparente, il forte sar l’oggetto di un ennesimo attacco che sar eroicamente respinto.
