Alan Taylor
Lives in London, United Kingdom
My music has been played extensively in Britain, both by groups I have worked with directly and by others. It has been performed elsewhere in Europe, several times in the USA, and also in Argentina.
My catalogue contains over 100 pieces, from solo works through to pieces for full symphony orchestra. I describe my style as ‘beyond post-modernism’. I draw on the many and varied styles of music available to us nowadays, but seek to created an integrated whole in each piece, and so go beyond the fragmentation evident in much post-modern art.
I have studied composition with Peter Sander, Michael Finnissy, John Woolrich, and I am now studying for an MMus in Composition at Trinity College of Music, where my entry to the Runswick Composition prize in my first year of study was commended. At Trinity I have studied with Andrew Poppy and Errollyn Wallen.
I have a long-standing involvement in community and amateur music. I conduct the Forum London Chamber Symphony and Southwark Consort of Winds. |
