I am a composer living in Stafford, England. There are pages here about my various projects, with links to recordings and, in some cases, scores. I also make videos exploring the “Spirit of Place” with music and images and there are links to many of these on Youtube.
RECENT PROJECTS:
Thomas Anson of Shugborough and the Greek Revival
Antonin Kammell – a Bohemian Composer in 18th Century England
Floyer Sydenham – a forgotten 18th century Platonist
Mignon Harman – perhaps a secret daughter of Sir Edward Elgar
Hidden Music – studies of Musical Theology
Here is a video by Keri Ford, who interviewed me in May 2019. It gives the background to what I do.
Pearl – a film of the 14th century poem adapted from the translation by Simon Armitage
The Garden of Philosophy – a film about gardens and the language of music
MUSIC – current projects, symphonies, choral music, dance and theatre
WRITINGS – historical, philosophical, biographical
CAMERA OBSCURA – exploring the Spirit of Place in images and music
