This is an amended version of Legacy 4, the final instalment of the dozen works by which I would like to be remembered. The Floating World was written as the major piece for my Doctoral submission to the University of Sussex and was first performed by Olivia Ray with the K.239 Chamber Orchestra conducted by Peter Britton. Disjunct Variations was given its first public performance by Adam Bowles in Montevallo, Alabama, and this studio recording was made by him shortly after. Double Concerto was premiered in its revised version by Marco Blaaw and Marcus Weiss, with the BBC SSO conducted by Geoffrey Paterson in the City Halls, Glasgow.

These SoundCloud posts contain most of my work, and the series of 5 Legacy playlists in the Spotlight are all those by which I would most like to be remembered. They begin with Noche Oscura, which I wrote in 1976, and end with Broken Forms from 2021 and the opera Russian Jerusalem, completed in 2022.
