Hurly Burly was commissioned in 2015 by saxophonist, Simon Watts, for world premiere performance with David Howie (piano) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
In three movements, this 8 minute score exhibits highly energetic, bebop-like rhythms and virtuosic chromatic lines in the first and last movements, while the middle movement showcases a magical moment of reverberant repose.
