This is not a complete list of Clement Jewitt's music, including only relatively recent pieces and those which are abidingly important, such as from winning prizes, or with which he remains reasonably satisfied. The list is divided into VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL. Vocal works include those with substantial instrumental passages as well as mandatory vocal parts, such as Chechnya Story and The Night Sea. Further information and score samples will be available on his general site when that is completed.
