Works.
Symphony of Sins
A symphony in seven movements of varying lengths portraying the seven biblical sin composed full orchestra.
Burke and Hare: A Light Opera
An operatic setting of the West-Port murders of Burke and Hare. Set for small orchestra with influences of musical theatre.
Alice in Wonderland Suite

Symphony
A staple in the diet of many composers through the ages has been the symphony.
Eight Miniatures
A collection of eight short pieces for clarinet, piano and strings, each following its own creative rules to give short creative moments.
Requiem Mass
A full scale mass for Chamber Orchestra, choir and soloists and Andy's first large scale project. Approximately an hour with an appendix of an original Sanctus and Benedictus that were replaced shortly after completion. Andy has since composed a second Requiem Mass using different portions of the Latin Mass, and avoiding the Dies Irae poem.
Symphonic Suite
A work in four movements that is designed to be played either as a whole, or in separate movements. Designed to create the drama inherent in film scores, but with no precise narrative. The second movement of this has since been renamed as a "Romance for Orchestra".
Piano Concerto
A symphonic concerto, intended to put forth the orchestra as equals to the solo piano. Approximately 34 minutes in four movements.
[Song of the Archangels]
A suite of songs for three voices (Mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone), set to the poetry of Goethe. Approximately 15 minutes. Designed to enhance the lyrical value of the poetry through varying melodic themes.
Ten Little Moments
A collection of ten solo piano pieces, about 23 minutes in total duration.
Search for Serenity (String Quartet #1)
A classically inspired quartet in 5 movements, designed to tell a story of a quest for sleep.
A Jovial Romp for Two Pianos
A short piece in the style of American minimalism.
Tocatta and Fugue for organ
A fairly traditional piece, not as 'full' as the fugal work of Bach, however very strict to the fugal form in that section. Approx. 5 minutes
Introspection
Written for international classical guitarist Simon Thacker composed as part of a masterclass at Aberdeen University. Designed to show off the natural qualities of the guitar by intentionally avoiding such effects as harmonics.
Elegy
For strings and harp.
Caution to Pedestrians
The soundtrack to a short film including recorded foley tracks.
Other Works
Other works include short pieces for solo piano, harpsichord and orchestral pieces.
