Do yourself a favour and listen to this with good headphones...

[Lyrics]
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am here
Be still when everything around you towers over
Be still when everyone around you makes a sound

Let my love and voice of thunder silence all your fears
Let my peace and comfort overshadow you my dear

Let my words of eternal life come rescue you my dear
Nothing else matters to me than for you to know I'm here

So take my hand we'll go further than you've ever gone before
Dream again, this time look above and see it's you we're for

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am here.

Stand Up If You Love Rugby by "Breakthru"

The tragic theme from a short film entitled "Pierrot" (dir. A. Avanzo 2013). 
Performed by the string section of the NZSO (who recently recorded the original score for The Hobbit trilogy (Peter Jackon/Howard Shore))


Theme from "Pierrot" (New Zealand Symphony Orchestra)

A short, sharp fanfare for brass quintet written to raise the curtain on a local street party in London this summer.  A generous sprinkling of tart harmonies to freshen the neighbourhood's palate before the gathering tucks into platters of food and flagons of ale.

Flamboyance

A recent recording made of composition 'Ascending To Serenity' written 2013.

Score and parts available here: https://www.howardcoll.com/product-page/ascending-to-serenity

Often when living in the midst of a busy city, it becomes far too easy to lose sight of perspective. Inspired by the Icon of the London Eye, Ascending to Serenity (commissioned by the Pacific Trio London) for piano, bass clarinet and violin, aims to take the listener on a path journeying beyond daily life. Beginning at ground level, surrounded by everyone and everything, the listener is soon lifted above the rooftops of London, able to observe their world on an unfamiliar scale. Looking high over the city, this music aims to offer appreciation of an unexplored beauty in our familiar environment. The music gradually dips back into a now more grounded reality, allowing for clarity of thought upon return to our daily lives.

Performed by Maria Setiadi (Piano), Emma Burgess (Bass Clarinet), Laia Braun (Violin)
