COMPOSER’S NO TE NOTE In 1986, the Helsinki Junior Strings in Finland commissioned me to write a number of short pieces for them.

I responded by writing five pieces, which they performed to perfection. Listening to these dedicated young musicians, the idea of writing a number of pieces for string orchestra, of varying standards, was born. It was my intention to provide a selection of short pieces, incorporating as many technical aspects of string playing as possible within a musically attractive framework.

I have now completed eighteen pieces under the overall title Daydreams in Numbers, and arranged them into three volumes according to their technical and musical demands. I have included solo pieces for violin, viola, cello and double bass, with orchestral accompaniment, which may be performed by the section leaders, or by guest soloists. Most of the pieces are lyrical, and atmospheric in nature, and they cover a wide range of ideas and musical styles. They also incorporate influences from contemporary string writing, and elements from Icelandic folksong. Taken as a whole, these volumes should be ideal for student and amateur orchestras of varying standards, as well as providing professional orchestras with new and often quite challenging material.
