All Angels first album will be re-issued on 23 April with 3 new bonus tracks. We have just heard that the album has been nominated as Album of the Year for the Classical Brit Awards at the Albert Hall on 3 May 2007. Watch this space!!
My hymn arrangements of "There is a Green Hill" and "When I survey the wondrous cross" were broadcast on Radio 2 on Good Friday from St Paul's Cathedral, and performed by the choir of St Paul's and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Back to Daily Service again next week with Barry Rose (17/04/07) the following Tuesday (24/04/07)and later in the month with the BBC Choristers of the Year (30/04/07).
I have completed a commission for Dartmouth Parish Church...a setting of the Litany with words from Common Worship.
Working now on arrangements for the new All Angels album.

Simon's update
I have just returned from a week's trip to Vero Beach, Florida where I was working with the church choir on a special Evensong for the Annunciation. A big programme, including Stanford in G canticles and Parry's marvellous epic "Hear my words, ye people" was very well recived by a large congregation at Trinity Church. A great acheivement for the choir too.
I preceeded the service with an organ rectital which seemed to go down well.
Work is also beginning on a new album for All Angels. The last four days have been spent arranging music and doing some preliminary rehearsal with the girls. It looks to be another exciting project!
