(UK)
organist, conductor, composer, arranger
Over
the
course
of
many
years
I
have
produced
various
compositions
for
various
situations.
They
have
mostly
been
inspired
by
groups
I
have
worked
with,
for
a
particular
event
or
need.
Having
lived
in
Norway
for
32
years,
many
of
them
are
in
Norwegian,
something
which
perhaps
limits
their
use
elsewhere.
I
have
tried
to
produce
pieces
which
are
generally
‘mainstream’,
as
well
as
others
in
a
more
popular
‘jazzy’
style,
although
you
won’t
find
any
‘Praise
Band’
stuff
here,
that’s
just
a
little
too
far
from
my
musical
roots.
It’s
a
pleasure
to
produce
music
for
a
specific
time,
group
or
place
which
just
‘works’ but I always hope that my work will be useful in other contexts too.
However,
I
am
presently
looking
at
several
choral
pieces,
originally
in
Norwegian,
with
a
view
to
recreating
them
in
English.
Not
quite
as
easy
as
one
might
think,
but
I
present
some
of
them
here.
This
is
very
much
a
work
in
progress
and
more
pieces will appear from time to time. Feedback, whether positive or negative is always appreciated.
I
would
say
that
it’s
always
nice
for
composers
to
know
about
performances
of
their
work,
so
if
you
do
intend
to
perform
any
of
my
pieces,
please
let
me
know.
Quite
a
few
of
the
mp3s
here
are
digitally
produced,
so
if
you
feel
your
choir
would
like to record something ‘with real people’ (as it were) I’d be very open to publishing such a performance here.
As
you
can
see
from
this
selection,
my
music
fits
into
several
genres
and
types,
reflecting
the
fact
that,
although
I
have
been
a
church
musician
all
my
life,
I
have
also
felt
it
important
to
work
in
local
society
in
various
ways.
These
pieces reflect that and I hope they will be used by others.
