Commissions
I am always happy to consider commissions, particularly choral and vocal pieces. Commissions start from as little as around £50. To get an idea of the styles and genres I write in, take a look at some of my other pieces here.
Commissions are generally priced on a per-minute basis. 50% of the agreed commission fee is due on commencement of the project, and the remaining 50% on completion.
Commissions are always quoted for on an individual basis, but as a starting point:
Unaccompanied solo instrumental or vocal works (excluding piano and organ) |
from £55.46 per minute |
Solo piano or organ works |
from £110.92 per minute |
Solo vocal, instrumental or unison choral works with accompaniment |
from £166.38 per minute |
Choral works with and without accompaniment |
from £221.84 per minute |
