Classical and choral

List of my music written for live performance, particularly for voices. Some works have their own pages linked and are available to buy as sheet music. Do contact me if you have any questions or interested in performing the other pieces not yet linked.

You may notice there are no piano pieces on this list – that is because there are just hundreds of them and I have to stop them taking over. So you can find a bunch listed under the sheet music tab, including 7 x 30 = 210 PIANOWRIMO pieces written over the last seven years.
