1 B & spinet. The three movements of this Sonatina are very rhythmic and a little exotic - I had in mind postcards from somewhere warm and probably Spanish speaking.The spinet part could be played on any other keyboard instrument. The bass recorder part could be played on a treble recorder anoctave up; please contact me for a treble clef part. Latin Postcards was written for Caroline Jones and Rosemary Robinson, and is rather difficult (especially rhythmically).

1 B & pno. Following the perhaps surprising popularity of the Three Studies for this combination, these are four more pieces which give a bass player something interesting and quite dramatic in places. Inevitably breathing is a challenge, but these are not difficult pieces.

1 B and Gb plus spinet or hpsch/pno. I wrote this fairly tricky piece for the duo of Caroline Jones and Charles Matthews. The title refers to a well-known chess strategy, which often produces exciting games, although a game of chess was used as no more than general inspiration. The recorder player moves from great bass to bass and then back again, although the part could conceivably be played on great bass only. The spinet part could be played on harpsichord or piano, while taking care not to drown the recorder.

1 B & pno. These little studies lengthen the small list of pieces for bass recorder and piano. If the piano part is played with care, the pieces could also be played on a contrabass recorder, which lengthens a very short list indeed. Quite difficult in places.
