As featured in the JW Pepper 'Editor's Choice', the much-loved benediction “May the road rise up to meet you…” is given a setting of beauty and simplicity that is a welcome addition to the versions that have come before. 

The accompaniment is effective, but not complex, and the piece may be sung as a solo if desired. There is an optional lower part at the end.

Invisibility- Original Piano Music

Cherub in the Chocolate Box TUNE 2022

I sing the 2022 lyrics with the piano.  (I'm not a trained singer - this is an artist's impression!)

Cherub in the Chocolate Box Karen and piano 2022

I wanted something to follow a straight play-through of Bach's chorale, so I put the melody in the bass and improvised until I was satisfied with the results.  Then wrote it down!

2022 Ein Feste Burg Organ Prelude KMcA

This song is from Jason Robert Brown's musical theatre show 'Songs for a new world'. It is unusual in being a musical theatre song for Christmas, and is sung here by Ruth Carlyle.

Don't Call Me Up-Mabel

When I first started piano lessons at the age of six, I enjoyed improvising and picking out tunes on the piano. My teacher was very accommodating in being willing to notate these early efforts. Whilst at school, I composed a number of pieces which were performed, most notably, the anthem The Time We Have is Precious which was sung in Gloucester Cathedral at the school’s Founders’ Day service.

A good number of my compositions and arrangements were written in response to the needs of individuals, ensembles and choirs with which I’ve worked. They are predominantly aimed at amateur groups and often at those with limited resources.

I compose and arrange in a wide range of musical styles and genres. Works have been described as ‘refreshing’, ‘effective’ and ‘sensitive’. Pieces are published in the UK, USA and Canada. Performances take place worldwide, but particularly in the US.

The music I write is diverse both in its style and instrumentation, but overall, its intention is to be accessible and enjoyable. I hold several diplomas for composition, including two from the London College of Music, and I am a Writer Member of PRS and MCPS.
