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
