Fortyssimo – combined choirs, instrumentalists and Melanie Marshall, celebrating my fortieth birthday!
CoMPOSER
I studied composition with Patrick Larley, Patrick Stamford and Christopher Fox, and write mostly choral works. I am delighted that my piece, I Sing of a Maiden, is published in Multitude of Voyces’ Sacred Music by Women Composers, Upper Voice Anthems (Volume 2), and available to listen to here and to buy here. Performances include BBC Singers on BBCR3 and National Youth Choir of Scotland on BBC1 Scotland.
“Your piece, I Sing of a Maiden, is a new joy for my a cappella women’s group, Fire. I introduced it at our retreat on Saturday and was immediately instructed to find more of your pieces for us to sing. We consider your I Sing of a Maiden about as perfect as a piece can get.”
To purchase Black is the Colour, The Cuckoo and Come Roving Sailor, contact Banks Music Publications on 01653 628545 or via their website

“I truly LOVE your work! I know that my group will be highly rewarded and thrilled to work on “Blessed Be that Maid Marie”, and I look forward to watching out for more of your compositions”
