Review of Sinfonietta: 'The four movements of Sinfonietta are extremely well written for the instruments, demanding much virtuosity, for example, in the brisk Scherzo---this is admirably fluent, well-balanced music.' Stephen Pettitt, The Times Commissioned by Jim Parr on behalf of BBC Radio Brighton and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, 1981. Instrumentation: 4 tpt(I=ptpt.III=flhn).hn.3 trbn.btrbn.tuba 63 pages. Duration: 18 minutes. Publisher's note: "Shortly after I signed with Faber in 1983 they decided to publish 'Sinfonietta' but Publishing Director Martin Kingsbury insisted it be shortened by 3 minutes since there were 'too many pages.' Performers not surprisingly found the work unsatisfactory and I insisted it be put back to its former glory. A paste-up was made by Faber but it was not fully re-published in correct form until 2004 by my own publishing company Highbridge Music." This is the composer's definitive version.
