“I have been absolutely thrilled by the arrangements that Richard has written for me over the years. He is imaginative in suggesting repertoire, thoughtful to the precise requirements of the ensemble whether it is for professional ensemble, college or school choir and always produces something completely unique and individual. The pieces that I’ve commissioned have also suited the occasion beautifully and been appreciated by both audience and performers alike.”
Christopher Bucknall, conductor
