Sky News DailyStarmer's UK-EU deal: What does it mean for you?Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today signed a landmark post-Brexit deal with the European Union. The deal has been lauded by the Labour leader as "a new era in our relationship...moving on from stale old debates" and "following through on what the British public voted for last year".

Reform leader Nigel Farage has labelled the deal 'a surrender' to the EU by Si...2025-05-1915 min

The Spouter-InnMemory Serves / A Study in Scarlet
I love the bones that are stones...
Stone is our oldest grandfather. We refer to the stones that keep our songs and stories as grandfathers. Our grandfathers give us the rock on which we stand, but our grandmothers move us from that stone in the direction of relation with others. They are the keepers of the stories that teach us about relations; they are the flesh of our bones that are stones. I carry them, willingly.

A detailed re-working of the 2019 release. Re-EQd; re-mastered; small rewrites to the intro & ending. Some phrases in the 1st & 2nd Violin parts have been transposed up or down an 8ve. The Gaelic title translates as: "Lament for the Earth".
It is in the key of Gm/GM with leanings towards the Mixolydian Mode. The opening lament gives way to a more optimistic section, but it is the Lament, in the modal minor that brings the piece to it's concluding unison. Pessimistic, or optimistic...you decide.2020-04-3005 min

The opening lament gives way to a more optimistic section, but it is the Lament, in the modal minor that brings the piece to it's concluding unison.

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Fake Blues' © 2018 Nigel Paterson Music'Fake Blues' is assembled entirely from Apple Loops. I didn't play a single note, hence the word 'fake' in the title! Available as a free download for a while.2018-04-0305 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Cometh the End' © 2018 Nigel Paterson MusicSlow, sustained string clusters, create a 'wash' of sound, under which the celli & bassi play a fragmentary, modal melody. Consonance & dissonance are at the heart of this piece. Scored for double string orchestra.2018-03-2505 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Changing Times' © 2018 Nigel Paterson MusicUptempo (118 bpm)orchestral piece scored for full strings, 3 trumpets, electric guitar & percussion. 'Changing Times' does just that, it begins in 6/8, changes to 4/4 & concludes in 6/8. The ending is heavily influenced by Stokowski's orchestral transcription of J.S. Bach's Toccata & Fugue in Dm from Disney's 'Fantasia' (1940).2018-03-1504 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Letting Go' © 2018 Nigel Paterson MusicA slow, reflective piece for Full Strings, 2 Flutes, 2 Clarinets, 2 Oboes & 3 French Horns. It is dedicated to all who have loved & lost. 'Letting Go' is not descriptive as such, rather, it invokes a mood of contemplation & reflection.2018-02-2008 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Meditation Tone' © 2018 Nigel Paterson Music (free download)'Meditation Tone' conforms to a Transcendental Meditation model in terms of length. It is an experiment. 'Meditation Tone' is now available as a permanent free download. Best listened to with noise-cancelling headphones. Adjust the volume level carefully; the first 30 seconds are extremely quiet, after which the volume increases marginally.

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Klaflatransplant' (For 2 Pianos) © 2017 Nigel Paterson MusicEdgy piece for two pianos. Dissonant, aggressively chromatic harmonies vie with each other, but the 'conflict' concludes unresolved. The recording uses the sampled sound from The Modell 370i, built by David Klavins. It is a custom 88-key upright piano permanently installed at the University of Tübingen in Germany. The number 370 refers to the number of centimeters of the height of the piano (12 feet), while the i stands for "integrated" (into a building, as opposed to free-standing). See Wikipedia for more information. Immaculately sampled by Native Instruments.2017-11-1503 min

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Thinking Music (Pax Vobiscum)' © 2017 Nigel Paterson MusicTwo vintage synths establish the harmonic shape. Strings & one synth repeat the material in a new key. A counter melody gently floats above the shifting harmonic foundation, played by three Violas. 'Thinking Music' (Pax Vobiscum) was written in response to horrific world events. It is, effectively, a wordless hymn.2017-06-1006 min

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Loose Canon' (Cello Octet) © 2017 Nigel Paterson MusicA canon in four parts, cellos arranged in four pairs. The canon is not adhered to strictly. Passing dissonances are tolerated, the counterpoint deliberately 'edgy' at times. 'Loose Canon' is, in part, antiphonal. A useful concert feature if you're looking for something a little different.2017-02-0806 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Tong 'n' Groove' © 2017 Nigel Paterson MusicHaving seen Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra at The Proms, I thought it would be fun to write a modest tribute. Such a good idea to unite the talents of PT with an orchestra. Regardless of genre, good music will always shine through. No attempt has been made to copy or replicate the sound of Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra.2017-01-3103 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'The Vendigum' © 2017 Nigel Paterson Music'The Vendigum', or as they are more commonly called, Elves, are craftspeople. They can make almost anything a human can desire. I have attempted to draw a picture in music of these industrious Little People, capturing their energy, quirky personalities & inventiveness. A saxophone sextet, four Tenor & two Baritone sets the scene. 'The Vendigum' is also an homage to the late Steve Martland, a composer who knew a thing or two about saxes.2017-01-2003 min

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Iatrogenesis' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicStrong & bold contrasting with gentle & compassionate, ultimately ending gently & at peace. I respectfully acknowledge using twelve notes in Clarinet 2, taken from 'Jupiter' by Holst.2016-12-1305 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Winter Solstice' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicAn orchestral piece, evoking the cold outside & the warmth inside. Dissonance (representing cold) gives way to Consonance (representing warmth), only to be pushed aside as the cold rushes in. An energetic dance to warm us up leads to a brief recapitulation of the opening, concluding with a gentle, warm chord played by the Strings.2016-11-1206 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Triptych' for Alto Saxophone & Strings © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicThis work is divided into three sections & is influenced by the outstandingly iconic contributions made to the world of music by The Hilliard Ensemble & Jan Garbarek.2016-10-1204 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Tick Boxer' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicDance music with an African flavour. No conscious attempt has been made to create indigenous African rhythms or melodies... a personal re-imagining. Assembled entirely from Apple Loops & Apple Ultrabeat.2016-10-0203 min

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Folkstravivo' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicA driving, slightly sinister opening gives way to a gentle section from the Woodwind. A solo Bassoon introduces the first of two, traditional style folk melodies. The second & more dance-like melody brings 'Folkstravivo'' to a boisterous conclusion. [Renamed to avoid confusion with fellow musos]2016-09-2006 min
Nigel Paterson | Composer'Thiepval Ridge' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicA 'sound painting' inspired by the 100th anniversary of The Battle of The Somme.

Nigel Paterson | Composer'Valse Russe' © 2016 Nigel Paterson MusicInspired by the Waltz from Shostakovich's Jazz Suite No. 2. My Waltz is not 'pastiche', more a grateful, respectful homage. 'Valse Russe' is scored for Strings, 2 Flutes, 2Clarinets, 2 Trumpets, 3 French Horns, Timps & Percussion. Hidden in the orchestration are the first four notes from the Jazz Suite Waltz, inverted, rhythmically modified & 'demoted' to an accompanying rôle. No prizes on offer, but can you identify the instrument playing the quotation?2016-05-0204 min
