I was going to post a choral anthem for a competition today, but I've realised judging hasn't happened yet. I don't want to accidentally disqualify myself by compromising anonymity, so you'll have to wait a little longer. I am hoping to have more compositions and arrangements to post this year. As an experiment, I am planning to spend ten hours per week composing, starting on 7th January. There...

I've been incubating a project. It isn't done yet -- won't be for a while -- but I think it's time to start writing about it.I have developed something of an interest in the psalms.

It's been a while since I've written here. Since getting back from Somerset I've been gradually getting back into my practise routine, and planning some of my academic projects for this year. I need to spend more time on that latter and will likely document some of it here in the near future. In the meantime, though, a plug for a lunchtime concert!St John on Bethnal Green Lunchtime ConcertThe...
