Recently, Dean has undertaken quite a number of requests for new brass work of varying type. Earlier in the summer, a request from Bandmaster David Mallett from the South California Youth Band was received. The request was for a Euphonium solo, for the band's Solo Euphonium player, Derek Flinn. The solo contains 2 of Derek's favourite melodies, Heaven came down and Rachie and as a contrasting section, the tune of Lord, how I love you was also used. The solo is called Journey to faith.

Another USA connected piece, is Mighty God! which was written for the RSA Band at the Texas Music Conservatory. Divisional Music Director Philip Burn kidly invited Dean and Emma to be special guests for a week of the conservatory, and asked for a piece to be especially written. The piece starts as a chorale of Holy, holy holy but quickly fuses into a new style and encorporates the ever-popular worship song What a mighty God we serve!.

The Wondrous Cross was written in February 2008 for Staines SA band to assist with their Easter ministry. The pieces uses two familiar melodies that fit the the words 'When I survey...'. Starting off as a choral type setting, the piece evolves into an exciting Bolero and a big finish.

Another recent work was commissioned by www.heavybrass.com who required a piece to market in connection with this year's Olympic Games. Olympia features 4 distint sections 'Parade', 'The Games', 'Competition' and 'Victory' and uses a variety of styles and moods.

A project that was of great significance was to provide music for Adam Jefferson - who along with his wife were the photographers at Dean and Emma's wedding last July. Adam uses DVD catalogues to promote his work, and so the requirement was for some mellow music to have in the background as images of recent weddings are shown. Dean and Emma were thrilled with Adam and Jan's work and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone getting married soon- their website is AJPhotographic.co.uk
