Hi!  Welcome to the full list of scores.                                List below (scroll down)

I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities, so please feel free to connect and discuss.There are alternative versions to some pieces.  You can get in touch to talk about versions and instrumentation.

​

Musicians find my work enjoyable and fulfilling to play, and audiences find them stimulating.  (See 'Testimonials.')  They include professional concert musicians, amateurs and learners.

There are lots of great unpremiered pieces that you be yours. 

I write intimate, compelling and dramatic chamber music for solo instruments, duo and chamber ensemble, and voice.

My special interest is in dramatic works for music and voices, setting texts that are important to me, including my own translations from other languages.  Homerton College, Cambridge, recently produced my video-suite A Homerton Parade, which sets letters, diaries and documents from the college's 100-year-old archive.

I also write compelling and sonorous music for orchestra and large ensembles when the occasion arises, such as my two works written for Britten Sinfonia members, Cambridge students and conductor James MacMillan to workshop and earlier compositions premiered by youth orchestras.
