Artists that have recorded my work include:
Pie Jesu - (All Angels)
There's a real shortage of new material in the classical crossover market. It seems very few composers write memorable melodies these days, so I decided to try my hand. Simple and direct are good words in my book!
I wrote 'Pie Jesu' in 2006. The All Angels connection came about through a discussion I had with their manager, Steve Abbott. At that point, the girls didn't even have a collective name! Steve told me he was intending to record an album with them, and played me a rough demo recording. I put my composing hat on, came up with 'Pie Jesu', and after some late-night fine-tuning, the piece was "in the can". It was recorded in January 2007 with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
I think All Angels have done a stunning job. I must also thank John Langley, who orchestrated 'Pie Jesu' and made it work for four voices.
