Works for Contrabass

2. Tessares, Op. 24 (1979) Tessares (Greek for "four") is scored for Violin, Clarinet, Contrabass and Percussion. It is a set of four variations in which each of the instruments has its own notational series and candenza. It is an early and fairly difficult work.

1. Neachora, Op. 22 (1977) Neachora (Greek for "new land") was the first major composition written since my move to Corner Brook. It is a setting of five poems by the Newfoundland poet Al Pittman and is scored for Soprano, Flute, Clarinet, Horn, Violin, Violoncello, Contrabass, Piano, and Percussion. While still a youthful work, it does contain some interesting and effective moments.
