What an evening.
Hearing my choral piece brought to life by the CBSO the soloists, and Chorus is something I will never forget.
Thank you to everyone who came. I feel truly touched. 🎶

I was at the rehearsal today.
I heard the music brought alive by the choir for the first time and there is nothing quite like it.

I got up early this morning and the sky looked like this.
Don't you love mornings like these quiet, calm, and full of colour.

Which do you prefer, sunrise or sunset. Me I like sunrise because I love to see the day begin.

I've played Poughkeepsie with Donald McLean but I didn't do the Sunrise Stroll over the Hudson. The bridge is the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge. Next time.

This isn't my photo but I've taken images like this on my tours of America. These cacti grow BIG. There is nothing like a morning drive through the desert with the sun just rising.

This image makes me think of holidays and waking up at sunrise to just laze about for the rest of the day. Bliss.

This makes me think of the sun rising. The dew on the ground and Strauss. It's actually nice to walk barefoot on the early morning grass before the sun dries it.

Pete Murray turned 100 yesterday, what an incredible milestone! Congratulations, Pete. I have so many great memories of being on his radio shows. He was always so supportive of the creative people he interviewed, and his work has introduced many many artists to the public. What a guy!

The music for this Paris sunrise is my instrumental track on my Consequences album from 2021.
I wrote this very much thinking about the sunrises I have enjoyed.
