Programme Notes:
Lime Groves of South Kensington, a work in three sections for tenor saxophone, violin and piano,
is influenced by music I have listened to for many years - particularly psychedelic music and 20th
century American classical piano music.
Recently I have also become fascinated by instruments such
as the autoharp and towards the end first section the piano writing is very much a piano interpretation
of the autoharp style.
Throughout the work there is usually one instrument playing a pulsing part
somewhere in the textures.
