We've moved and are currently rebuilding the site - so please bear with us! These pages will eventually contain an expanded selection of David's music. The original site was designed so that the opening bars of the music could be seen while the whole of the piece was being heard
With the march of technology this has changed. The music can now be heard while the score can be seen from beginning to end. This is done mostly electronically, not live.
There are exceptions. The major one is the Oboe Sonata. John Anderson is Principal Oboist of both the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra, based in London. He very generously visited my shed to record my sonata amongst the coffee stains, insect corpses, empty wine bottles and miscellaneous other debris A man of unbelievable talent and tremendous kindliness of spirit and I am very grateful to him.
Several volunteer amateur singers have contributed live music to the site and they and others will make their appearance on the site the near future.
My profound thanks go to them, who, like John, recorded in my garden shed, where in addition to all its other failings, its acoustics fall far short of what you might expect to hear on a professional CD. You might occasionally hear the complaint of an unenthusistic pidgeon, the distant scream of a low-flying jet or the grumble of a petrol driven lawn mower, none of which were intended. Putting all background noises into shade, though, is the talent, tolerance, wit and patience of the singers - to say nothing of their charm and good humour. I am deeply grateful to them all.
And, by the way, I'm bound to say that all original music on this site is copyright David Pugh, allonsong.com!
