Old friends, new music.
A great way to kick off 2026 with a new album for The Scoring House & @westonemusicgroup recorded with the brilliant Curtis Schwartz and top-class musicians Maura Marinucci, Eliza Marshall & @tompigottsmith.
Yesterday evening, I was privileged to be able to watch via LiveStream the US Premiere of my work 'Eventide: In Memoriam Edith Cavell’.
Originally commissioned by the Sheringham & Cromer Choral Society, last night’s excellent performance was by the Oratorio Society of Minnesota under their brilliant director #MatthewMehaffey.
Their performance can still be seen until 19 Nov at wooddale.org/events and scroll to 00:37:22.

Newly revised vocal score complete for The Wedding at Cana and I'm so pleased with how it looks!
Can't wait to begin bringing this alive with #ChoirOfTheEarth in the Autumn.

An interesting experience for me to be revisiting my first major work from 1989(!) ahead of a performance by #ChoirOfTheEarth @mrbenengland early next year.

It was a true honour to lead this wonderful performance of your Quanta Qualia Patrick. Can’t wait to teach and record The Wedding at Cana later this year!
If you need soothing, look no further than @ChoirOfTheEarth's most recent recording of Quanta Qualia. With thousands of voices from around the world and cellist @LauraPeribanez, under the direction of @mrbenengland, it's beautiful. 🎶❤️

And the behind the scenes video is great too, giving a glimpse of the wonderful people who make these things happen.

I was recently asked what my favourite piece is from my album 'Nativity' recorded with the excellent @voceinc. Without a doubt, it's 'This Endernight' and I thought I'd share a short video about why I love it so much. 🎄✨
