In The Name

In The Name was written in August 1998 for Louise Taylor and was subsequently grouped into the set of piano pieces called 'Romantic Miniatures for Piano.'

The piece uses a simple musical cipher in which each letter of the alphabet is attributed to a note: A=a, B=b, C=c, D=d, E=e, F=f, G=g, H=a, I=b, J=c etc. etc.

The group of pieces Romantic Miniatures for Piano consists of my more interesting early compositions and any romantic miniatures that I have written up to the present day. I am often called to write such pieces so the set is liable to grow in the future.
