NEWS & EVENTS
​
I have recently uploaded over twenty compositions onto my new page at Score Exchange. Here you can find a lot of music for choir/vocal ensemble ideal for performance during the Festive Season, especially if you are looking for something that is new but also maintains that traditional Festive atmosphere. Also original pieces and arrangements for saxophone quartet and other combinations. More music to follow!

SOME NOTABLE CLUSTERS Online Premiere
I have been lucky enough to compose a large piece for solo viola player Daniel James Hudson - Some Notable Clusters for solo viola, orchestra & electroacoustics. As part of a vast composition called Ecliptic Observations, this is a series of nine sections, each of which evokes nebulae, star clusters, black holes and even supervoids located in constellations in the 14-constellation Ecliptic (through which the Sun passes during the course of a year.)
We went for an online premiere on January 1st, 2021 - a link to the Youtube playlist:

WORLD PREMIÈRE IN PORTUGAL
I am very honoured to recently have had my AVE VERUM CORPUS premiered in Portugal by the Coro ESART with a fine guitar quartet conducted by Maestro Gonçalo Lourenço.
​
A composition based around the painter Paul Gauguin has been in the pipeline for may years, and this Ave Verum Corpus intersperses texts from Gauguin's book Noa Noa, about the beauty and nobility of the native bodies that he encountered on his travels around the Pacific Islands, with the phrase Ave Verum Corpus re-iterated three times.
