Compositions - Page 1
I do not do a great deal of composing but here are some works which are not too bad! Some were written in my late teens, others for the school choir I directed until I retired. Three have won competitions!
If the score you would like is not below as a PDF please contact me.
I am gradually uploading pdf files of some compositions. Feel free to download and perform these with my permission. I would appreciate a message if you do perform them in public.
(Download PDFs by right-clicking the titles: they will have bizarre files names; just rename them)
