for oboe and piano Both of these works for oboe and piano explore the emotions of grief and anger following loss or bereavement. Fierce Tears I and Fierce Tears II both use a melodic line taken from Berkeley's Oboe Concerto, but it is developed in different ways in each work.

Fierce tears I composed in 1983; Fierce tears II in 1990.

Durations: 7:30 ; 8:30.
