Thanks so much to everyone who voted! I managed to snag the Audience Favorite Prize at the Rapido! National Finals last week. John Elmquist took the Grand Prize with Junk Shot, and Piotr Szewczyk's Images from a Journey delighted the audience. Overall, a resounding success on all fronts!
New commission from Trinity Chapel Music
I recently received some wonderful news: John Rose, Director of Chapel Music and the Trinity College Choir at Trinity College, has commissioned me to compose a major piece for performance late in 2011.
The work will be for choir and orchestra, and will (hopefully) be a setting of the poetry of Hugh Ogden, a hugely influential Trinity professor of mine who passed away in 2008.
There will be much more information on the piece as it progresses in the following months. At the moment, I'm slowly making my way through a few other commissions from 2010.
Here's to a 2011 filled with music!
