web of works in UE – Universal Edition

Medical graduate of Cambridge University (1971). Career in academic medicine (retired 2017). Now pursuing career in music, focussing on composition. After piano lessons in childhood in England, started composing at age 17 (1964). Initial works for solo piano and for small instrumental ensembles; somewhat later, a few vocal works. Self-directed musical education included reading theory, and studying and copying scores. Milestones include performances of music for chamber orchestra by community orchestras in California (early 1990s) and Philadelphia (2005), and (especially) recent professional performances: rehearsal/recording of Sinfonia No. 1 by The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia (COP; 2015); readings of my 4 string quartets by the Wister Quartet (Philadelphia) in 2017-18; performance of String Quartet No. 4 by Wister Quartet (March 2020); performances of work for solo viola (Danza per Viola da Braccio); transcription of Mozart Adagio in B minor (K. 540) for string orchestra performed by COP in January 2020.

An interest in musicology is exemplified by the following article:
