Dances in Miniature

for Alto Saxophone and strings (or piano)

Composed in 2020, but based on some clarinet pieces I wrote in 2000, these three short movements are entitled Intrada, Berceuse, and Hornpipe.

​

Making use of irregular time signatures and quirky rhythms, they nevertheless maintain the characters of the dances implied by their titles. There is more than a passing homage to Finzi's Five Bagatelles for clarinet here, so it is much in my post-romantic idiom - I like to think of this short suite as a three-movement encore!
