Coming soon! “Statue Songs”, a song cycle for SABar choir and piano, about 20 minutes long, written for Dingwall Choral Society. This will be premiered in December 2019 but if you’d like a perusal copy with a view to a 2020 performance, email me. You can see a few sample pages on my Facebook page.
New! We Are One Voice is available for SABar choirs, with an optional middle section for more advanced choirs. Also available for ATB on request.
I’ve put up a new piece for which you can pay as much (or as little) as you want! It’s a 3-part round called “A Bicycle Wheel”, should be suitable for any level of choir.
See the #choirsagainstracism page for a three-part setting of “No Man Is An Island” (available for SABar, SSa or TBarB), and for “I Was Listening…” for piano, unison voices and spoken chorus.
