Christopher Norton: Border Song from Microjazz 2 for clarinet and piano

Christopher Norton's perennially popular Microjazz for alto saxophone and piano, recorded in Minneapolis. 


Christopher Norton was born in New Zealand in 1953. He began composing at the age of 14, and, by the age of 16, had an orchestral work performed and broadcast.

Having completed an honours degree in music from Otago University, Dunedin, in 1974, Christopher Norton met with some success as a pianist in New Zealand, playing with the New Zealand Symphony orchestra and broadcasting on the Concert Programme. At the same time, he was teaching music in local high schools, beginning to freelance as a composer and arranger, and had also started to play keyboards in a rock band, having becoming interested in jazz and pop.

Coming to the UK in 1977 on a University Scholarship, he studied composition at York University with Wilfred Mellers and David Blake, writing a variety of pieces, including choral works, orchestral pieces, piano music and musicals. While playing in various bands, Christopher Norton started to experiment with combinations of styles that crossed the divide between his classical background and more contemporary popular styles. 

In 1983, Christopher Norton was signed by Boosey & Hawkes and the first of the Microjazz series appeared¬¬¬—music which appealed greatly to children and teenagers but was sufficiently rooted in the classical tradition to be useful as teaching material. The series has expanded over 20 years to include music for all of the major instruments with piano, ensemble books and midi file backings. It is now the biggest selling music series for Boosey & Hawkes, with over a million sales to date.

Christopher Norton is now well established as a composer, producer, arranger and educationalist and has written stage musicals, ballet scores, piano music, popular songs and orchestral music as well as jingles and signature tunes for television and radio. He has lectured around the world on aspects of his work and likes to integrate traditional teaching methods with aspects of modern technology.
