program note
Vodka Meets a
Martini is written
with a laid-back, lounge feel over a slightly more complex
‘classical’ structure which repeats a 26-bar cycle five
times. It is dedicated to Tim Davies and Kate Moran, whose
names anagrammatically provided the title. It was written
specifically for the signing of the register at their
wedding and also exists as a separate self-contained piece
of music.
