My editions
Contributor since: 2004-04-23
Number of editions on CPDL: 33 (automatically updated list)
My "editing" work for CPDL is entirely typesetting; I am not a professional editor of music, but rather I make occasional comments on my editions to the end that performances may be enhanced without detracting from the composer's published intentions. I aim for my editions to be of the highest possible quality in terms of being technically correct (right pitch and rhythm of notes, etc.) and to be as clear as possible for performers. If you have noticed any mistakes, please contact me on the above address and I will endeavour to correct them.
I haven't worked on any new editions for a while since almost all of my time for CPDL is taken up with admin and maintenance jobs. However, before those took over my life, I was working on the following:
- Give unto the Lord, Psalm XXIX (Edward Elgar) (in progress... it's coming, honest!)
- Serenade (Edward Elgar)
- Remainder of Stanford's complete service in G, Op. 81
- Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in A (Charles Villiers Stanford)

Background
I live and work in Sheffield, UK.
I became involved in CPDL in 2004 by contributing some editions of works from the Anglican choral repertoire. Since then, I was made an administrator of the wiki and the forums in November 2007. In August 2008, Rafael Ornes formally stood down as manager of CPDL and I joined the transition committee which had the ultimate goal of forming CPDL into a corporation. This was achieved in July 2010 and I was elected Chain of the Board of Directors. I try to contribute as many new editions as possible but the bulk of my work on CPDL is helping new contributors by adding their editions to the site and checking for mistakes on pages. The amount of time I have for CPDL has been curtailed since gaining full time employment in 2010!
As a keen amateur bass, I have sung with many choirs in the past and also enjoy the occasional opportunity to perform as a soloist. I currently sing with:
- The Parish and Chamber Choirs of St John's Church, Ranmoor, Sheffield (1997-present)
- Sheffield Chamber Choir (2010-present)
- Rivelin Singers (2008-present)
Previous choirs:
- Royal School of Church Music Millennium Youth Choir (2007-2010)
- Leicester Cathedral Choir with a choral scholarship (2005-2008)
- Leicestershire Chorale with a choral scholarship (2006-2008)
- Coro Nostro (2005-2008)
- Worksop College Chapel & Chamber Choirs (2000-2005)
- RSCM Northern Cathedral Singers (1998-2000)
