"The Century List", which was compiled by Frank J.  Oteri and published in
the June 1999 issue of Chamber Music Magazine.  Doubles is characterized by
Oteri as "a piece that shows off how beautiful the sound of an oboe is!"

Sonata - An Entertainment for Two for piano, 4 hands and a presentation of
her new Parallel Play for saxophone quartet at the International Festival
