Petite Suite de Ballet€ 73,52This composition consists of four ‘miniatures’, simple in construction, yet not without technical demands upon the players.
The music is for a ballet which so far exists only in the imagination! Like most ballet, it has a touch of the fantastic, and must be interpreted with a light, deft touch.

Partita€ 90,00Verplicht werk 4e divisie NBK 2025
Partita dates from 1971, when it was commissioned by the Redbridge Youth Band. The musical thread that runs through the work is the 13th century plainsong Dies Irae from the Requiem Mass. This gives the work a rather sombre tone which is audible right from the start of its first movement Intrada. The initial hammer-like chords of the opening and conclusion are only interrupted momentarily by a more lyrical modal tune. Even here, on its repetition, it is surrounded by more insistent textural patterns.
The second movement, Chorale and Variations, uses the Dies Irae as the basis for an extended melody in the manner of a baroque sarabande. The five variations that follow are varied in texture, tempi, and dynamics. The final March is more optimistic in mood and presents as its main idea a rather jaunty theme which gets developed throughout the movement. However, the ominous presence of the Dies Irae has the last say with a final statement to round off the work.

Weary Laddie€ 56,00Whilst Colin's wonderful wife, Nicole, was busy giving birth, he helped out in the most useful way… by writing a wee tune! The result is a Scottish themed ballade with a gentle folk rock feel for voice and piano, dedicated to their first son, Tom.
