Standing on the Bank of the River Pant (French horn), 2014

"...Beautiful sustained tones were interrupted by more exclamatory notes, creating the effect of a poetic discussion with the self." [Robert Monroe, Tuesday Musical Association]

What is Life? (Poem by John Clare), (Soprano & Harp/Flute & Piano), 2014

​"...by turns reflective, meditative, and quietly joyful, mixing clear flute tones with rich harmonies, offering a touch of an almost Medieval or Druidic mystery." [Robert Monroe, Tuesday Musical Association]

On An Overgrown Path, Janáček (Arranged for Brass Quintet) 

"... The selected movements have been imaginatively arranged by Joseph Hollings, who successfully captures the wistful longing, grit and power of Janáček’s brass writing whilst maintaining the narrative and logic of the original piano score." [Kevin Price, CD Review of Meridian CD CDE 84633 in Brass Herald, May 2015​]
