This guy was the one that started it all! Inspired by a random video on FB where they used sparklers over a couple of deer stencils to make a cute forest scene. It got the cogs turning...🤔 I called it Evening Snow in end. #eveningsnow #gradientblues #snowscene https://www.instagram.com/p/BtB96M0FZmX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lqyz7kkavvqs

My latest a cappella chorale piece, Evening Snow, was written as part of a competition run by St.Andrews University - to write a piece of music, any style, set to lyrics given by Peter Davidson.
The piece paints the landscape and scenery of New Zealand - which can often be described as a larger and sunnier version of Scotland (my home town).. So I was keen to write music that captures both the space and surroundings of the vastness of New Zealand whilst adding a slight Scottish feel.
Lyrics: So far, so late, so distant and so cold. How faint the mountains in the fading day. North of the waters, snow down to the shore. South of the waters, stone fields, storm blown thorns. Snow in the dusk now, and night winds that move. Over vast waters to the farthest stars.
I was then delighted to have my piece chosen and performed in concert alongside works by Paul Mealor, sung by the wonderful Choristi Sanctaindree, St.Andrews University, Younger Hall.
