Composition and Commisions

Welcome to the favourite part of my job. As a composer I can enjoy being creative on a regular basis. Commissions are the most enjoyable part of composing, as I like to write original music on request. The occasion or event can be anything from a wedding, to a piece for a festival, or a new youth music ensemble. Some of the recent projects have included a string quartet for a wedding gift from parents, a piece of funk music for youth big band and a song cycle as a gift from a mother to her daughter. The benefits from commissioning a piece of music are numerous - here are a just few are:
- You will be able to describe what you would like, for example if you have a few favourite words, pictures colours etc. all of these can act as a source of inspiration
- You can give examples of what you have heard before from your current musical tastes and have these as a compositional feature
- You will have the have the only copy of the piece of music which can include the complete score and CD recording *
- You can have the personal touch and be involved in the whole process along the way from the initial consultation to the final performance recording.
- To request more information on commissioning please see the contacts page - for recent examples please click on the 'Scores' and 'Audio' links below.
