[This] cheerful Prelude & Fugue [2008] covers 16 pages and features irregular rhythms (including a fugue in 13/8) and variety of affect. Chromaticisims enliven a basically tonal G major. I was reminded of William Mathias. Tuba is called for, and is probably desirable; three manuals are prescribed. Moderately tricky (grade 7+) this is idiomatically written.
Both these works [Invocation & Paean and Prelude & Fugue] display an individual voice; ideas are developed well, giving a sense of purposeful direction; the harmonic language is spicy but accessible.
