Digging up the past
Since moving house last year I've had this big box I've been meaning to unpack, full of old drafts and sketches for my compositions, old programmes from concerts, and reports from my Purcell days. It was so nice to see what I had achieved, but also reminded me how far I still have to go, and I think I got a bit overwhelmed by the nostalgia!
The most touching and most precious to me is the draft for my orchestral piece Fragmented Expanse which was chosen as a winning work in 2010 by the BBC. Which I would love to share with you all...
