Biography

With my being a singer of many years standing, in small choirs and solo, it was inevitable that I would write primarily for voice(s).

If anyone is interested in my compositions, and particularly if they intend to perform them, I’d love to know. Contact details are on the ‘editor’ page.

Secular Music

A blackbird singing A coin that time cannot take A gray day and quiet A resting-place A Riddle-Song A Robin Sang A widow-bird sate mourning After a hundred years All day I hear the noise of waters All in a green thicket Angel spirits of sleep As if the Sea should part Autumn Dusk Bluebells, cockle-shells By the hearth-stone The cherry trees Come, Sleep Come, sullen night Draw on, Sweet Night Dusk in June The Everlasting Voices Goe weepe sad soule Grey goose and gander Had I a golden pound to spend How many miles to Babylon I had a little nut-tree I had two pigeons I love, alas, yet am I not beloved I shall come no more I stood beside a hill I will arise and go now

If Pity reign with Beauty If this be love In the after silences Lullaby, oh, lullaby May the road rise up to meet you Memory, hither come Most Holy Night Move him into the sun Now sleep, and take thy rest Oh, I have a bonnet trimmed with blue Rain has fallen all the day Season of ice Sleep now Spring The Birds The Broken Tryst The Cloths of Heaven The Ghost of a Flower The Sick Heart The Sighing of the Reeds The Sylph The World's End There were two birds There will come soft rains Thrice toss these Oaken ashes in the air Weep, O mine eyes Westron wynde when wyll thow blow When I no more am here Where be ye, my love White clouds that change and pass Would that I were where I would be
