    I tried uploading an audio file of Of One that is so fair and bright, but unfortunately the file type was not allowed. If anyone wants to send me their email address, I can send it as an attachment, probably?

    If I may be forgiven a little more self-publicising ...

    I have just received another endorsement regarding my Parish Mass in E - this time from John Hogan from Bendigo Cathedral, Victoria, Australia.

    He says "It is beautifully crafted with elegant choral parts".
