8 SAATTBGbCb. A suite of five miniatures which are charmingly easy on the ear. They do however give players something substantial to work on, as they require accurate tuning, and include some rhythmic difficulties - the Air, for example is graceful music, but 5 in a bar throughout.

8 SATTBBGbCb. This piece was commissioned by the Durham and Newcastle Branches of the Society of Recorder Players, for that organisation’s National Festival, held in April 2019. This nine-minute suite is beautiful, and is not difficult to play. At the festival itself this version of Dunholm Suite for eight-part recorder orchestra was used, but a six-part version (without big basses) is also available, as MHE 10119.
