The Partita composed in 1971 is inscribed 'For the Rt Hon. Edward Heath M.P. Prime Minister'. Its five movements enjoy the almost improvisatory freedom that is characteristic for Howells' writing yet they are bound together by a kind of cyclic feeling engendered by a fairly consistent use of an original mode: it descends from C to C as follows: C B B flat G F sharp E E flat C. The Partita exploits both the melodic and harmonic implications of the mode.

Written for Soprano and Tenor soloists and SATB chours. These two short Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) settings commissioned by Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare for their September 2007 concert series in Texas were designed to frame an evening’s programme rather like a compositional ‘inhalation’ and ‘exhalation’ a crescendo and decrescendo or a prelude and postlude. Densely textured the music aims to hint at the myriad readings Dickinson’s surface-simple poetry yields in its many readers. Each setting uses a solo soprano and tenor their voices referencing the polarities inherent in each poem (‘sun’ and ‘shade’; ‘love and hate’).
