Hymn of Peace
I've written a number of pieces of music for SATB choir, for
two-part
children's choir, unison children's choir
or solo vocal, and for piano. My latest is for orchestra and
SATB choir titled
Hymn of Peace.
You can download a PDF
of the SATB choral part and a
synthesised accompaniment mp3
file if you would like to
sing it as part of the Sing the Earth
initiative this year.
On your first visit to the ScoreExchange.com site (previously SibeliusMusic.com)
where my music is available, you might need to download a
free program called Scorch to allow you to see, play and print the music.
It is used by many music sites and contains no spam, adware, etc. I have been using it for years with no problems.
Please contact me
if you want permission to perform a piece in public or would prefer to buy multiple copies of one or
more pieces in normal printed music format.
If you know which piece you are looking for, you can link directly to it
by clicking on the appropriate link below:
A Choral Menagerie
- A fun piece for SATB choir which makes the perfect closer for a
program. This piece has
been very enthusiastically received and reviewed by performers and audience
alike.
Ideal for the higher level High School choir or College mixed chorus.
An MP3 of a live performance by Grayson High School is available by clicking the MP3 link at ScoreExchange.com. A Cappella
6 minutes.

A Choral
Menagerie - The Lighthearted Closer for your Choir Concert
Brisbane Concert Choir has now released a CD which features a studio recording
of this piece.
Follow this link to
listen to a sample or to buy the CD Radiance.
A Christmas Lullaby
- An original Christmas carol in the same style as Away in a Manger.
SATB A Cappella 2 minutes.
Shakespeare Sonnet
- A setting of Shakespeare's Sonnet XXVII - Weary with Love
SATB A Cappella 2 minutes.
A Mouse in the House -
Good fun for a junior choir with this simple piece.
Two Part with easy piano accompaniment 2 minutes.
A Song in the Night
- An ethereal piece for a young solo voice or unison treble
choir which offers plenty of scope
for painting word pictures and establishing a reflective mood. With a vocal
range of only an octave
and an uncomplicated accompaniment, this piece should be well within the
capabilities of most
junior choirs and soloists.
Unison with easy piano accompaniment 2 minutes.
Music Box Lullaby
- If you liked the melody of A Christmas Lullaby then you will enjoy this
setting for Grade 3 - 4 piano.
Piano solo 2 minutes.
Hymn of Peace
- A piece inspired by the centenary of a local heritage-listed church, it
went on to become more of
a universal expression of hope for humankind. The MP3 version of a virtual
performance gives a
good idea of what the piece should sound like, except that the simulated
choristers can't sing the
words. However, you can read them while the piece plays at SibeliusMusic.com.
Orchestra plus SATB chorus 5 minutes.
