Alan’s hymn tune, St. George Martyr, written for the text of the same name by Doug Constable, was the winner of the St. George’s Paris Hymn Competition, and will be first sung at St. George’s Paris Celebration Eucharist on February 10th 2024.

Alan’s  Aspects of Blue was recently published -seven piano pieces at intermediate level. Each of the pieces represent a different aspect of the twelve-bar blues structure, responding to the chord sequence in different ways, with stylistic reference to the past as well as the present. The score is published by Editions Musica Ferrum: you can hear a performance with scrolling score here, and details to order the music are here.

Alan’s Prelude No. 8 from Twelve or Thirteen Preludes, Set One, in the Trinity College London Grade 7 piano syllabus book for 2021-23, can now be offered as an alternative piece in the Grade 7 2024 piano syllabus, which continues until further notice. It is still available in the TCL 2021-23 book, but is now also available as a separate digital download from Sheet Music Direct.

Alan’s cantata Endless Song received a sparkling first performance from its commissioner, the Waltham Singers, together with the Maggini String Quintet, directed by Andrew Fardell, in Great Waltham Church, Essex, on 24 June. A recording with scrolling score is now available, and the complete score (as well as some of the individual movements) are now published by Colne Edition.

Alan’s short orchestral piece, Friston Moor is particularly relevant at the moment as the Government announces its plans for the proposed ‘energy hub’ at Friston and associated infrastructure projects. Details and link to virtual performance here.
