Three of a Kind (2011-13)

Three of a Kind was composed in 2014 for the ‘Watkins Trio’, Richard Watkins (horn), Paul Watkins (cello) and Huw Watkins (piano) specifically for the NMC recording Sea Eagle. It uses the music of Tanglewood Fanfare, with a cello link to an elaborated version of Calmo, and lasts around 10 minutes.
