More Technique Takes Off! is a collection of unaccompanied duets and studies offering intermediate violinists an imaginative and exciting way to improve their technique. Each piece focusses on a particular skill and together the studies provide a concentrated course in developing vibrato, double-stopping and shifting.

This book of progressive studies has been transcribed for viola by Margaret Banwell from the violin originals.

Santa Fe Suite
A colourful and attractive suite for solo harp, in the words of the composer, "directly inspired by a working visit to Santa Fe-a city beautifully set in an area of New Mexico suffused over many centuries by the culture and rhythms of Spain.

Walden Snow
Written for the CD of Butler's music from NMC with the Schubert Ensemble, American Rounds, this tiny, delicate piece has something of the Debussyian prelude about it. It deftly deals with that familiar theme of snow, not rising above a piano dynamic throughout. Butler effectively utilises the upper registers of the instruments to depict the lightness of falling snow and contrasts this with bass notes in the piano, no doubt alluding to the depths that snow can conceal.
