for string orchestra. 8 minutes
f.p. Goldberg Ensemble dir. Malcolm Layfield,
Manchester International Festival of Expressionism, RNCM March 1992
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1998
Spliced variations in reverse (gradually uncovering the theme), while alluding to the style of German Expressionism.
Visions for Orchestra (1975)
full orchestra. 26 minutes
f.p. New Philharmonia Orchestra / Diego Masson, Radio 3, 15 November 1976
live: Melos Trust promotion, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra / Richard Hickox, 23 April 1986
Three movements (the first being an orchestration of Fragments), the second a scherzo based on four different speeds of cyclic rise-fall patterns played out across four orchestral groups, the third a study in death.
Chamber Concerto (1979)
BBC Commission. for chamber orchestra. 17 minutes
f.p. London Sinfonietta / Elgar Howarth, BBC Music In Our Time, 10 April 1980.
This uses a new invention, the non-octave reduplicative mode (spanning 14 semitones) or “expanded musical space”, in association with a form that mirrors Yeats’ poem The Second Coming. The crisis of the cusp of the ages resolves onto an African-inspired collective music, in which the conductor renounces his dictatorial baton for claves.
The Net And Aphrodite (1982)
for very large orchestra
commissioned by Hambros Bank for Halle Orchestra. 14 minutes
f.p. Halle / James Loughran, Manchester 14 July, Cheltenham Festival 18 July 1982
Symphonic poem on the saucy story of metal-smith Hephestos’ trapping of Aphrodite and Aries in flagrante, the world of Greek Gods mirrored by the expanded musical space of the above work.

This alludes to the English pastoral tradition. But is also the first work to use a Prime-Inversional matrix hybridising two different 12-tone rows, respectively a tree-trunk formation (harmonic intervals like 5ths) and horizontal canopy/foliage (small intervals).
Tide's Turning (1989)
for wind orchestra, 5 minutes
f.p. RNCM Wind Orchestra / Tim Reynish as part of Sailing With Archangels
subsequently restored to independence and f.p. RNCM 30 Jan 1993
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1994

Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1993
A major work in my output, this 7-movement concerto uses Ghanean drum ensemble techniques pitted against Hungarian (heart of Europe) bands and modernist textures, in a work that has been hailed for its originality and scope of synthesis.
Blackbird (1993)
for SATB chorus, SATB soloists, full orchestra
69 minutes
Texts: Wallace Stevens, Hardy, Heaney, Woolf, Tibetan Book of the Dead. f.p. Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus, BBC Philharmonic Orch / Sachio Fujioka, Sheffield City Hall 23 April 1994 and BBC Radio 3 25 July 1994

Crossing Ohashi Bridge (1995)
for string orchestra, 18 minutes
Commissioned by Goldberg Ensemble, who gave f.p. dir. Malcolm Layfield at RNCM
21 Jan 1995, Radio 3, 3 Jan 1996 plus interview with Stephen Pratt
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1995
This combines chaos mathematics formulations (after Lorenz) with Japanese-inspired textures (the title refers to a print by Hiroshige) in a series of 18 sections that combine arch-form with open form.
Schubert's "Reliquie" (1997)
for string orchestra. 40 minutes.
Completion and arrangement of Schubert's Sonata in C, D.840
f.p. Goldberg Ensemble / Malcolm Layfield RNCM 26 November 1999
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1999

commissioned by Halle Orchestra, for Gamelan and orchestra. 18 minutes
ISCM premiere 23 April 1998 cancelled for financial reasons
f.p. BBC Symphony Orchestra / South Bank Gamelan / Jason Lai, 27 February 2004
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 2004
This uses the Dali painting as symbol of the compatibility of the incompatible, (the three juxtaposed and superimposed tuning systems of equal temperament, slendro and pelog) and necessitated a close study of Javanese textures and timing.
ch'i kun (1999)
for 11-piece string orchestra. 12 minutes
f.p. Goldberg Ensemble, Huddersfield Festival 24 November 1999
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1999
The title refers to warm-up exercises before T’ai Ch’I, and applies Stellation with microtonal tuning to a series of repetitive motions of increasing exertion, thus revisiting a common idea in my work - of variations on an absent theme.
Lucifer (2001)
Concerto for piano and 21 loud instruments (brass, saxophones and percussion) 30 minutes
Commissioned by Thames Valley University for Philip Mead's Piano and Brass project. f.p. RNCM Brass with Philip Mead piano, James Gourlay, RNCM 17 Nov 2002
BBC Radio 3 “Hear And Now” featuring three recent Poole works, 15 November 2003
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 2001
A black comedy on the self-delusions of the Western millennium, conveyed in knock-out contest between piano and heavy brass in polyrhythmic disarray (in the tradition of my piano works Ten and The Impersonal Touch).
Dao Qian (2002-5)
eight movements for full orchestra. 33 minutes
Awaiting performance. This is the final part of the I Ching series, “The Book of The Dragon” or qian the creative force. It explores the tension between apparently straightforward surfaces, and a computer-controlled underlying rotational transformation (Stellation system 2) that leads it to unexpected twists of fate.

The lai is sung in its original form throughout, with “layers” of counterpoint and cultural allusion (as in Berio’s Laborintus 2) woven or pasted onto it. This anticipates the methods used in Harmonice Mundi and Two-Way Talking.

This is based on a gradually accelerating spiral of seven orbits, each at 3/2 of its predecessor’s tempo. An ambitious integration of cantus-firmus, magic-square, tempo control and large-scale variation techniques creating a life-journey of increasing tension and a plateau.

London f.p. Purcell Room 12 March 1985
Published: Maecenas Contemporary Composers, Kenley, 1999
One of my most radical pieces, this employs “expanded musical space” in a 14-semitonal reduplicated mode which is itself comprised of an “undulating” configuration of five cells containing different micro-intervals. This creates a quite new sense of non-harmonic chording.
