14.01.2022 Tidying up and sorting through piles of music can be worth the effort. Just found an unfinished oboe & piano piece I started last year which I really like. Maybe a better filing system is required.. tbc.

06.01.2022 Thank you to Wirripang for publishing this Anthology (in 3 volumes!) of Australian Choral music. It's difficult for choirs to rehearse at the moment, but here are some new Australian-inspired songs to help them relaunch into the future. My SATB and piano song 'Brumbies' is included in volume 1.

The oboe pieces are titled 'Oboe Tango' and 'The Secrets of Trees', and the bassoon pieces are 'Hornpipe' and 'Bassoon Boogie'. https://www.adrs.org.au/c/adrs-double-reed-competition-2020
