Additional Information
These three pieces are intended to work as a set although they can equally well be performed as stand-alone pieces.
After my friend William Lindeth performed the Fanfare for me I composed the set of five variations on the welsh folk song Y Bore Glas, which was a particular favourite of his. He then suggested that by adding a third piece we would have a good set for concert performance. In order to maintain some overall coherence to the set I wrote the opening Passacaglia on a theme based upon Monk’s Gate, the same hymn tune basis as the Fanfare.
