Doonies Hill Antiphon draws its inspiration from three of the composer's interests: the poetry and potency of names, the mystery and magic of aviation, and the ornate, mellifluous music of the early Tudor period. Doonies Hill Antiphon was commissioned by Red Note Ensemble with funds provided by the Scottish Arts Council, and premiered by Red Note Ensemble at the sound Festival on 20 October 2010.
