Released today, Matilda Lloyd & Richard Gower’s new album, Fantasia – Works for Trumpet & Organ, features the world-premiere recording of my piece, “Warm, Hazy Rain”.
When composing this piece, I had in my mind a person in transit during the summer months, perhaps gazing out of a train window or reminiscing about a leisurely bicycle ride through warm, misty country lanes.
This album features transcriptions of baroque works interspersed with four world-premiere recordings of new works by British composers commissioned for the album. Matilda writes:
Welcome to our world of Fantasia an imaginative exploration of the long-established combination of trumpet and organ. Featuring five types of trumpet in seven different keys and the newly refurbished organ of the Abbey Church at Waltham Abbey, this album explores a myriad of sounds that will ignite the imagination and enchant the ear!
If you’d like to hear my piece live, Matilda & Richard will be performing this programme at 1pm on Wednesday 3 December 2025 at Temple Music Winter Festival. You can find out more information here.
