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."
