'Metamorphoses after Britten are just that: four miniatures, each inspired by one of Benjamin Britten's Six Metamorphoses after Ovid for solo oboe. Each movement, over its short course, transforms gradually from one thing to another, ending, with the exception of Fountains, in a short, cathartic coda. Some of the movements also take specific musical elements from Britten's pieces.
I very much viewed these pieces as musical Haiku, and in that sense I hope they embody a sense of peace, brevity and simplicity.
The oboe version of Metamorphoses after Britten is dedicated to Melinda Maxwell.
The saxophone version of Metamorphoses after Britten, with an additional movement, is dedicated to Vicki and Andrew Vaughan'
