A long and diverse career has given Bailey the experience to successfully develop the composition and orchestration skills necessary to extend from previous small ensemble and jazz big band writing to larger orchestral works.

Her recent compositional output has included New Orleans Second Line for Jazz combo (2008), So Many Rivers commissioned and premièred by NZTrio (2010), and Another Journey for big band and symphony orchestra (2012).
