Amongst the many lovely gifts given to me this Christmas, was this... Published in 1905, at a time when our greatest composers worked alongside government to bring the myriad benefits of singing together to every child in the land. May we, 120 years later, bring singing back. HNY

Very happy with this wonderful performance of a new piece, written a couple of months ago, setting a famous and beloved text by John Betjeman. It happens at c. 00:56:45. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Today's edition of Classical Live on Radio 3 will include contemporary carols recorded by the BBC Singers earlier this week. One of them is a new setting of mine, written especially for the BBC Singers, marking the 40th anniversary of the death of Sir John Betjeman.

It's a blue dress code today, so chance to out this beauty of a tie. A particularly special BBC Singers concert for me because it will include a premiere of a new piece of mine.

As we approach the big day, I thought I'd share Day 15 from my now infamous #BathrobeRecitalsAdventCalendar where I - perhaps unwisely - attempted to tackle... Mariah! youtu.be/UCJKLiPoG4Q?...

It's always a joy to hear from choirs performing my work over the Christmas season, especially when it's older pieces that now have a life of their own. This one in particular pops up all over the place, likely thanks to this beautiful recording from ORA. youtu.be/yEDCvuMbd1E?...

If you're preparing yourself for a weekend of Christmas concerts, then here's a throwback to my now infamous Bathrobe Recitals Advent Calendar, from way back in lockdown, to get you in the mood. One of my favourite songs by Michael Head. youtu.be/BNMPFJMvK7s?...

In this, the last day of my 40th year, I'm reflecting on what a great year it's been! The hugest of life events back in May, and lots of music written. Looking forward to 2 premiere performances in December, 1 in January and one in March. Watch this space 😁

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.

👀 We’re looking for a baritone or bass-baritone to join us next year. We’d love to work with somebody who enjoys consort music-making, and feels comfortable sharing their passion with others. More details are available on our website: www.thegesualdosix.co.uk/baritone-aud... 🎶

My new settings of Responsorial Psalms from the new 2024 Lectionary now available on the website: www.alexpatterson.co.uk/psalms.html Looking forward to introducing these next week @salfordcathmus.bsky.social

I've always been a singer first, and composition has been a sideline, but I've written more in the last 3 years than in the previous 30, and 2024 has been nearly non-stop. I'm really excited to explore this new balance and to work with new ensembles to create beautiful new music. 🙂

Not the earliest Christmas gig ever, but it was the first outing of an early birthday gift from my MiL... a lovely new white waistcoat. Looking forward to getting this bad boy out on the oratorio circuit.

Last year I promised myself I wouldn't write any more Christmas carols... this year I have two premiere performances scheduled, and a 3rd carol sitting on the piano just because it was in my head. 🤦‍♂️

I've a new piece forming in my head that I won't have time to write down until Wednesday night. Will I be driven mad??
