Arrangements & Orchestrations for Young Voices and Orchestra or Piano

I have a large catalogue of pieces designed specifically with young singers in mind.

The vast majority are orchestrated (a Voice/Piano score is also available) and many of these pieces have been commissioned by organisations including Belfast Philharmonic Choir, Children's Classic Concerts, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the BBC and have featured both on live TV broadcasts and CD.  Click on the links for sample pages or mp3s.
