"My piece “Sinfonia for Six Recorders” is a short satirical parody of baroque music. I deliberately went over the top with polyphony…and I have no regrets. My primary goal was to see how much counterpoint could I conceivably squeeze into five minutes of music. I managed to put quite a lot in there! Despite its flaws this piece should hopefully be something juicy for performers to get their musical teeth stuck into and hopefully, maybe, people will also like to listen to it. It was conceived with a playful spirit and so it should be approached with one also. Enjoy!" - Pendlebury
