Some current projects

Rehearsals are underway for four performances of Come, Rock his Cradle at Grace Church Cathedral, Charleston, South Carolina, USA in December 2019.

Their Director of Music writes: “My young Choristers starting preparing ‘Come, rock’ last night and I have been enjoying becoming  more familiar with the music this morning in prep for the adult rehearsal tomorrow. It’s such a wonderful carol – a beautiful melody, wonderful, subtle and lush harmonies for each verse that reflect the text, to complete a really well and very cleverly crafted carol. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to sing it this year. People will love it!! ”

There is always something brewing in my mind.  Ongoing work includes:

• Completing my 24 sets of Songs without Words … or will it be 48 sets?
• A new song cycle
• An operatic project
• Composing pieces for solo instruments, particularly viola, flute and violin

Current and recent commissions:

• Composing and arranging choral pieces and Christmas carols for choirs in the USA and Canada
• A piece for full orchestra in celebration of a special event
• Several songs written for an operatic tenor colleague and friend
• A piece for bandoneon
• Arrangements of hymns and anthems and also specially written pieces for my current choir
