The pieces on this page are for one or two solo recorders with accompaniment. While David’s professional career in the worlds of jazz, pop and world music provide him with a musical vocabulary not available to many composers and arrangers writing for the recorder, it should not be supposed that these styles represent the limits of his musical interest. Far from it.
Five strong colours (2003)
an extended piece for descant recorder and piano, which encourages Grade III or IV players to explore the more lyrical and emotional aspects of their instrument through the five contrasted pieces which make up this suite. The first movement was selected by Trinity College of Music as a Grade III examination piece.
Score & Recorder Part: £6.50
Three Piece Suite (1996)
a suite in three movements for rather more advanced players (the first movement was selected by Trinity College of Music as a Grade V examination piece), it utilises the whole range of the descant recorder and, like the more recent work, contains plenty of rhythmic challenges for both instruments.
Score & Recorder Part: £6.50
Touching Bass
Suite in 5 movements for advanced bass recorder and guitar. Each successive piece adds 1 beat to the bar, starting with a jazz waltz and ending with a Rhumba in 7 time.
