Programme Notes:
Argentum [Latin  for silver]  is  a  short,  vibrant  and  fun,  yet reflective  piece  centred  around  celebration.  Not  only  was it  commissioned  by ClassicFM  for  its  silver  anniversary, but  it  is  dedicated  to  my  two  great  friends Chris  Oakley and Steven Christie in commemoration of  their  marriage earlier this year. Any  celebration  is  a  perfect opportunity  to  bring  people together  and  experience  joy,  and  it also offers  the  chance to  look  back  at  the  journey  and  reflect  on  the hurdles  and milestones  that  have  brought  us  to  that  moment. Almost serving as a musical soundtrack, my aim with this piece is to encompass  all  of  the  emotions  that  any  relationship, whether personal  or  professional,  might  experience  in  a journey of development and discovery; thematic ideas that are   introduced   in  isolation   at   the   beginning   begin to intertwine as the piece progresses, building into a climatic finale,  offering  a  clear  sense  of happiness  and  pride  for what   has   been   accomplished.   I   would  like   to   thank ClassicFM  and  the  Royal  Philharmonic  Society  for this commission,   and   the   Royal   Liverpool   Philharmonic Orchestra for their kind support throughout the process.
