‘Twas the night before Christmas,
 When all through the house,
 Not a creature was stirring,
 Not even a mouse,
 Except in one corner,
 Of a room dimly lit,
 Where a composer was working,
 On his next greatest hit,
 While outside the window,
 The church clock struck midnight,
 Now listen to that masterpiece,
 A festive delight.

Here it is, the long awaited release of my special Christmas composition. This festive piece reflects joy and seasonal feelings.

Festivities Begin

Will has a long standing love of music having started learning the piano at the age of 6. He enjoys playing a variety of music from across the centuries, from Bach to Beethoven and Elgar to Einaudi, always looks forward to picking up a new piece.

During these years, Will has honed his ability to play by ear and can often be found at the piano improvising something he heard recently. Will has also enjoyed trying pieces written for two or even three people on one piano, enjoying the challenge and the way the parts fit together.

For quite a few years, Will wanted to learn the organ and expand his current ability. He gained that opportunity while at university, enjoying the challenge presented by one of the most versatile instruments known.

 More recently, Will has turned his hand to composition – keen to develop his own unique style of writing and aiming to bring a 21st century feel to orchestral music. He has always been intrigued by orchestral music and they ways the ensemble work both with and against each other.
