- Overture, Act 1 and first scene of Act 2 from the opera
'Xoliday'.
The opera Xoliday is an ongoing project, largely for comedy value only,
based on a book I wrote with Ian Bentham, Claire Bentham (nee Chandler) and
Andrew Harvey, in the summer of 2002. I have so far only got up to the opening
for act 2, though the music already written contains some seriously daft
moments. Lyrics available on request, but I suggest you just make up your own!

- 'Io Sono nel Treno' from the opera 'Xoliday'.
The finale to act 1 of the opera 'Xoliday'. Our heroes finally take their seats
on the train from Paris to Koblenz, only to be interrupted by a very
familiar sound. A young girl chats with her lover on the phone, instructing
him in deliberately poor Italian about her wishes and desires. Words
included!

- 'Ave Maria' for four voices.
The 'Ave Maria' was written in 2001 for a specific occasion, though never
got performed because of logistical problems. It's a very simple tune,
introduced by soprano solo, in the style of a cross between Mozart and Rutter,
if you can imagine anything so hideous. Actually, it sort-of works. A piano
reduction is also included.
