Strong winds, gentle airs, for Wind band and percussion, Full and study score

Written for the Wirral Schools' Concert Band in 1987, Strong Winds, Gentle Airs is built, as the title suggests, from two types of material - one forceful and rhythmic, the other more relaxed, with slow-moving, almost static harmonies. In revising the piece for publication, the composer has endeavoured to retain as much of the original character as possible.
