This is the fourth in a set of 5 trios that the composer wrote between 1937 and 1947. The style of these trios would be best summed up as "in the classical style" but are nonetheless great fun and make ideal teaching pieces for intermediate grade players. Be warned, however, that some passages in the bassoon part are quite challenging!

We would like to thank the composer's daughter, Sally Kirby, for permission to publish this edition.
