Organum II-V were composed in 2017 and are dedicated to Sarah Poole (soprano)
and David Heyes (double bass). The soprano part can also be played by any
melody instrument. Each has a strong character and style, with a repetitive
accompaniment, which creates a strong basis for the melodic interest above.
