Baobab (for saxophone). Baobab is derived from the composer's cello concerto (1997) and much of the material is cast as a dialogue between voices of differing colour. Baobab is dedicated to Raaf Hekkema.

Double Take is a work by South-African composer Kevin Volans arranged for Clarinet in A with Accompaniment. Double Take was commissioned by the Music Network with theassistance of the Arts Council of Ireland. Volans a key member of the post-minimalist community states that he finds composing for solo instruments the most difficult of tasks. Originally composed as a duet for a singleplayer Volans started to hear a subtle ostinato underneath the main melody which became the opening of the piece.
