Program Notes:
Sanddef ("Santhev"), for solo bass clarinet, was written in April of 1989 for bass
clarinetest Michael Lowenstern as a complement to Morfran, also for solo bass clarinet.
Sanddef Pryd Angel, for whom the piece is named, is a medieval Welsh character. He is mentioned
(directly after Morfran) in the tale Calhwch and Olwen as a member of King Arthur's
court. "Sanddef Pryd Angel angel-face -- no one wounded him at the battle of Camlan
because of his beauty. Everyone supposed he was an attending angel."
