The orchestral piece
Montage was premiered at the BBC Proms in 1977. His Clarinet Concerto (1995), structured as a 30 minute single movement, and the nine movement orchestral work
Saturn from 1982 (a tribute to
Holst, depicting each of the planet’s nine satellites) have been recorded. The 2006 Oboe Concerto,
An Elegy for Ur, won a British Academy Award, while the Concerto for Orchestra (2008) was the recipient of a
Royal Philharmonic Society bursary. A Concerto for Piano and Wind Orchestra was premiered on March 30, 2017 to celebrate the composer's 80th birthday, and there are other works for wind band such as
Time’s Harvest (2000) and
Aeolian Carillons (2006). Roxburgh has contributed significantly to the chamber music repertoire of his own instrument, the oboe. He composed
Aulodie (1977) and
Antares (1988) to mark the 80th and 90th birthdays of
Léon Goossens, while
Elegy (1982) was dedicated the memory of
Janet Craxton. Christopher Redgate has recorded a disc of chamber music for the oboe. A CD of his piano music issued in 2007 includes the substantial, single movement Piano Sonata of 1993, (derived from a three note motif by
Alban Berg) and the "freely atonal"
Six Etudes (1980). His 2003 opera
Abelard has been published but awaits a full staging. A newer opera,
Her War, for soprano and trumpet with words by
Jonathan Ruffle, was premiered by soprano April Fredrick and trumpeter Simon Desbruslais in London in September 2020. ==Further reading==
