Additional Information

'Unbroken white line' (2006) is a re-working of the first half of my saxophone quartet 'Ghosts' - I felt the music would work very well on strings and it turned out to be the case.

The piece was premiered by the Carducci Quartet at a concert to inaugurate the new CIT Cork School of Music.
