Four sketches representing characters from Dumas' famous novel (Four? The extra one is all about D'Artagnan, who dreams of joining them).

Ideally suited to a professional-level orchestra interested in inspiring the younger generation, my second Orchestral Suite continues my quest to write short, attractive and accessible classical music which young people can enjoy as much as the older generation!

Performance time around 8½ minutes

Celebrating the natural world, this suite of five zoological sketches continues my quest to write short, attractive and accessible classical works to delight and inspire audiences of all ages.

I've chosen five mammals to represent: Monkey, Mara, Sloth, Pigmy Hippo and Giant Panda.

"Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree" is a charming narrated Christmas story interspersed with characterful musical moments, suitable for all orchestras and ideal for a younger audience.

Running time around 13½ minutes

The waters of the Silent Pool in Albury, Surrey, are exceptionally clear and still. Legend has it that the pool is haunted, and this work interweaves calm, atmospheric music with Christina Buchanan's beautiful re-telling of the legend, seen from an unusual viewpoint.

Hauntingly beautiful work for piano and cello, without a time-signature, giving the performers freedom of expression and flow. Included on the Texas UIL PML as a Grade 3.

Arrangement for String Orchestra.

On the Texas UIL PML as a Grade 2, ideal for a young audience, short and accessible three-movement Sinfonietta.

More technically demanding than Sinfonietta No.1, 'Heroes' follows the same principles of duration and accessibility.  Three contrasting movements that should be an interesting contribution to programmes for any orchestra.

This march-style work has the feeling of something simple being begun by a few, and becoming powerful and glorious as others join in and add their worth. It's all about building something strong as a community.
