Additional Information

I.     Toccata

II.   March

III.  Elegy

IV.  Polka

V.    Air & Variations

This piece dates from 1981 and was a last attempt by the composer to write accessible music using techniques derived from serialism. The Air & Variations with which the work concludes mixes a determinedly tonal melody with an unlikely collection of harmonies. It may suggest an ironic side to the jolly miller of Dee’s blithe disposition: he cares for nobody, but then nobody cares for him.
