Stephen Morland is a pen name I used when I wanted to keep my playing career and my composing career separate. (I don't feel so strongly about it these days but it's too late now to change!) I have been composing music from as early as I can remember and it has been a continuous process apart from some years in my twenties when my entire energies were channelled into establishing myself as a successful freelance musician. Like my playing, my composition encompasses a wide range of styles but I have an obvious bias towards writing for woodwind instruments. Many arrangements and compositions have been widely performed and broadcast by the BBC. I was particularly pleased that "Recitatives for Solo Saxophone" was used as a test piece for an international competition for young professional saxophonists, run by CASS (Clarinet and Saxophone Society (UK)) (For a list of published and recorded works - see below.) |
