With all the woes in the world at the moment it’s good to be reminded of how many great people there are out there! Lucas Zampaglione is a young, and very talented guitarist from Argentina.

In Arcadia
A couple of days ago I received a copy of the new CD by Sayaka Noguchi, recorded recently in Japan. It’s a must for all sax players! There’s a great mix of music (including my own five movement work ‘In Arcadia’, in its first recording) and the playing is totally fabulous. It’s hard to imagine […]

He featured ‘Admiring Yoro Waterfall’, which was originally commissioned by Sophie Yates for the virginals, and ‘Sing, Memory’, my piece for guitar and virginals/harpsichord, that was written […]

These five pieces were all based on artworks by Sir Christopher Le Brun, and it’s lovely to see these words about the music that he posted on his instagram account; “Given the contribution that music has […]

It’s now available on the RCM Youtube channel. There are a range of pieces here including my ‘Symphony Cocteau’ for sax quartet and piano (starts at 22.00). […]
