Works for Piano Trio

Piano Trio #1, Op. 52 (Swann)(1998) My piano trio was commissioned by Francesca Swann, CBC producer in St. John's. She has always been a strong supporter of my music and as a result I dedicated the piece to her. Hence it will always be known as the Swann Trio. It took me a long time to write the work. What became the second movement was written first and is extremely difficult, especially for the piano, but I am very pleased with the results. It is a little more abstract than my other works but is filled with tension and dramatic aspects. The first movement was inspired by the great C major Passacaglia and Fugueby J. S. Bach. It received a brilliant premiere performance by Kristina Szutor, Allison Black and Theo Weber in St. John's. I look forward to many more performances in the future.
