This is a selection from the music I will admit to having written or arranged.

View the scores, play them and even download and print them for free (except the Glass arrangements) from SibeliusMusic

.To get the Glass arrangements, please apply to Schirmer in the US, Chester Music in the rest of the world

All my own compositions (again, not the Glass arrangements) may be performed without any payment to me - but you have to bear the cost of any copying needed (and you have to let me know you're doing them!)

Demo tapes, produced from Sibelius, are also available of all my compositions; in the case of the piano pieces they are quite impressive

Please contact me for more details

SibeliusMusic

is a site which enables you to play and print scores.  You don't need to have the Sibelius music engraving program, but you'll need to download a plug in from the site, called Scorch, which will facilitate the playing and printing.

I recommend you enter "marchant" into the search on the home page to access my pieces.

 Piano piece 1 - 5´
A boisterous piece influenced by Stockhausen, Xenakis and Cecil Taylor
> Premiere : Ian Pace, BMIC, London 27 July 2000
> Optional test piece in the final round of the Fifth British Contemporary Piano Competition at the London College of Music in November 2000

Piano piece 2 - 3´
More of the same

Piano piece 3 - 9´
A cool conclusion.
Piano pieces 1-3 can be performed in the following sequences: 1 alone, 2 alone, 1 then 2, 1 then 2 then 3.  3 isn't intended for separate performance

September - piano 10´
Subtitled Homage to Olivier Messiaen, this contemplative piece seeks to absorb Messiaen’s style without merely plagiarising

 joy (William Blake) - SMATB choir, organ 6½´

Jolly secular setting

Nine songs, seeking to match the simplicity and directness of the poems in the music - in progress (four complete)

Ligeti meets ‘English choral tradition’
