This work was written between 1987 and 1989 it consists of two movements and the composition takes the form of a presentation of contrasting blocks they start in their shortest simplest form and then are juxtaposed with eachother followed by an expansion and development independent of each other. The initial block is for all three instruments with a fan-fare like figure on the horn producing a reoccuring theme. The lyrical block has asustained tune played in the high register of the violin with bass notes on the piano. The third block is a contrapuntal one which sees the first appearance of a tapping motif with the fourth block providing a chordal piano solo.These sections then expanded and developed with themes repeated on different instruments. The final movement of the piece presents three fugatos preceded by a fan-fare like introduction interspersed with rhythmic non-contrapuntal episodes each fugato is led separately by horn violin and piano. This composition is dedicated to Ingrid Lunt . Work for Horn Violin and Piano. Written in fulfilment of the Koussevitzky Foundation Award.

Pied Beauty The rhythmic elasticity and freedom of the poem matches the vividness of its images and the freshness of the poetic language: it is like light playing on water. In thissetting for choir and brass phrases for trumpets and then voices- ‘Glory to be God’- Alternate with more meditative moments- ‘who knows how?’. The contrast of the poem- ‘swift slow – sweet sour- a dazzle dim‘ quick changes fromsunshine to shadow- are mirrored in the music. Heaven Haven The stillness and serenity of this poem one of Hopkins’ earliest is in direct contrast to the other. ‘Out of the swing of the sea’ to a gently rockingfigure runs as a sort of undercurrent through the piece. At the end this figure combines with a motive in thirds (heard quietly on the trumpets at the opening) and expands slowly with the choir in eight parts before dying awayinto silence.
