Original Manuscript Edition-Almost 100 years after the first publication of Debussy's Sonate Pour Flute Alto Et Harpe by Durand et Cie this seminal work in the chamber music literature has been meticulously compared contrasted and corrected against Debussy's handwritten and autographed 1915 manuscript. Using photographs provided by the National Library of France harpist Carl Swanson has documented and corrected nearly 300 discrepancies between the composer's intent and the Durand 1916 edition.The corrections made in this edition consist of musical indications being omitted misplaced or inverted; dynamic markings that are in the manuscriptbut not the printed version have been added wrong and misaligned notes have been corrected musical indications previously omitted in individual parts have been added and intended durations of dynamic and tempo changes have been corrected.Debussy was one of the first composers to make extensive use of musical indications and was extremely meticulous in his scores. To read a score of his with missing misplaced or wrong directions is a significant as reading a score with missing or incorrect notes. Now for the first time in history Debussy's Sonate Pour Flute Alto Et Harpe has been printed exactly as the composer intended.

Homunculus is a short (circa 12 minutes) work for string quartet which the composer wrote during the Autumn months of 2007 for the Johannes Quartet.He wanted to compose a piece that would be very compact in form andduration but still contain many different characters and textures. In other words a little piece that behaves like a big piece.He has long been fascinated (and amused) by the arcane spermists’ theory who held the beliefthat the sperm was in fact a 'little man' (homunculus) that was placed inside a woman for growth into a child. This seemed to them to neatly explain many of the mysteries of conception. It was later pointed out that if the spermwas a homunculus identical in all but size to an adult then the homunculus may have sperm of its own. This led to a reductio ad absurdum with an endless chain of homunculi. This was not necessarily considered by spermists afatal objection however as it neatly explained how it was that 'in Adam' all had sinned: the whole of humanity was already contained in his loins.He decided to call my piece Homunculus despite the obvious weaknesses of thespermists’ thinking as he found the idea of a perfect little man strangely moving.
