Mass for One or Two Voices and Keyboard   (March 2008)
Suitable for choirs with limited numbers! The two parts may be sung by any voices, with tenors or basses sounding an octave lower than written. This will also work as a unison piece, with all available voices just singing the top line, as this carries the main themes at all times. The second voice provides harmonic or contrapuntal interest, but this is also provided by the keyboard if the second voice is omitted.

Canon for 3 instruments   (Jan 2007)
A strict canon which could be played on any three instruments within the ranges of treble (e.g.violin or flute), mid (viola or clarinet) and bass (cello or basson). The style combines the influences of 18th century counterpoint with slightly jazzy harmonies (flattened thirds and sevenths) and rhythms.

Canon for 2 instruments   (Jan 2007)
This was originally the basis for the 3-part canon above. But it turned out to be a little too "busy" for 3 parts - a jumble of notes in places! - so I made some sections of the 3-part version a little bit sparser. However, I though that this version works quite well as a 2-part canon, and could be played by any two instruments one or two octaves apart.
