Thames rolls on

I am hard at work revising 'Thames' for a possible performance in the States this summer. This guy has said he would like to programme it with other river-inspired pieces: Smetana's 'Vltava' and Schumann's 'Rhenish' Symphony. In any case, the score needs tidying and improving. I am a bit stuck in the eddies and cross-currents around Westminster Bridge, but hope to reach the sea ( or should I say the ocean?) in a week or so.

Someone in Tennessee wanted to play 'For the Fallen' on Veteran's Day in November, but I sadly had to decline the request to transcribe it as a string quartet.

'Trafalgar 1805' is being used as the incidental music for a student production of the Oresteia at Boston Unversity.
