HEMOS ACABADO! - Solo flute and piano
Hemos Acabado! (We’re Finished! - The End!) was composed for the Riverina's Assai Quartet after the group commented at a performance that "we need a fun encore piece". An up-beat Latin-style work, Hemos Acabado! was (for obvious pronunciation reasons!) affectionately nick-named the “Avocado" by the Quartet and is featured on the album Origin by the group. Orchestrated for intermediate (around grade 5-6) flute and piano, this version of Hemos Acabado! is also available from fourandtwentymusic.

ELEGIE - Solo soprano voice with mixed quartet accompaniment
Originally composed as incidental music for part of an orchestral suite, and then later for cello and piano, this popular song by French composer Jules Massenet and text by Louis Gallet has been tastefully arranged for soprano voice and triosonate style quartet comprising flute, violin, acoustic guitar, and bassoon (or cello).

​
EXPLORING THE BASSMENT - Solo euphonium, bassoon, baritone sax, or baritone T.C. with band accompaniment
Full of capability, but often scored as the bass backbone in many compositions and arrangement, tenor-bass instruments rarely get to shine as a featured soloist especially in more novice or community band settings. Exploring the Bassment keeps the band accompaniment scoring relatively simple but interesting for players; and makes allowance for one of several potential players (or a whole section!) to take the soloist role. Band Grading 1.5-2 soloist 2.5-3. Available from sheetmusicdirect or sheetmusicplus. Contact Kara directly if in Australia.
​
EXPLORING THE BASSMENT - Solo tuba with band accompaniment
If you have a capable tuba player in your ensemble, then this is the perfect piece for you! Featuring a maestoso introduction section and cheerful, upbeat and catchy melody punctuated by a short interlude into the main soloist cadenza, “Exploring the Bassment” for Tuba keeps the band accompaniment scoring relatively simple allowing the soloist to shine - even in the lowest of registers! Band Grading 1.5-2 soloist 2.5-3. Available from sheetmusicdirect or sheetmusicplus. Contact Kara directly if in Australia.
