I’m resuming my blog now that ideas, inspiration and motivation have returned. Let’s see if I can keep it up!

There’s a lot on in March with concerts and workshops, but still, my intention during this month is to create a set of songs for choir only from my DMus portfolio setting of Tam O’Shanter, and to embark on a composition inspired by Lanercost Priory. Keep up with the progress most days right here!
