Library Music

Home » Library Music
 

My prolific output of library music ranges from 'straight' orchestral to solo instruments and small-group jazz, covering every facet of dramatic mood.

My earliest library pieces, recorded from 1962 onwards, were used regularly in Pathé and Movietone newsreels, for which I composed heroic marches and industrial music. The Severn Bridge was built, Sir Francis Chichester was knighted on Plymouth Hoe and Prince Charles greeted the cheering crowds after his investiture as Prince of Wales at Cærnarvon Castle to my music.

Some suites, such as 'History Book of Music' and 'Music of the Victorian and Edwardian Era,' (De Wolfe,) 'Television Tensions' and 'Palm Court Selection,' (Studio G,) have been in constant use ever since they were first issued in the 1960s.

My library music can be found on the following labels: Sync Music, De Wolfe, Studio G, Chappells, Boosey Media, JW Media (Weinberger, Inter-Art & BMP), Bruton/Southern Music, Bosworth, Mozart Edition, Chandos Music and Paxton/Atmosphere Music.
