Coronach is the culmination of four years of incremental work and carries on a current preoccupation with integrating elements of Scottish history and culture into my work. The piece is in seven movements and alternates between settings of Scottish romantic poetry with Gaelic folksongs collected by Hamish Henderson (1919-2002), a renaissance man of mid-twentieth century Scottish poetry and folklore.

My new work The Mystery of Light (2019) was performed by the University of Aberdeen Chamber Choir at a special graduation service at the University of Aberdeen to honour HRH Princess Anne.
