To illustrate Jonathan Powell's legacy and importance to composers, I am compiling a list of works dedicated to him.

If you have composed a work, know of one, or are planning one, I would be grateful if you could let me know.

That’s one hell of a game of Twister! Your contortionist classes must have paid off!

I got my grade 8 distinction on tenor horn in 2001 πŸ€ͺ there are no rules to this, however you interpret it is correct so whatever pitch you can get from the positions listed is automatically correct! The page could last seconds or hours.

This is an extract from "December Music" for triple valved brass.

If you play the corny, flugey, trumpy, horny, barry, euphy or tubary to ANY standard (even no standardπŸ€ͺ) then you can play this!

It’s a wonderful tribute πŸ₯² I’m still in shock and will probably remain so for some time, it just doesn’t seem real 😞 I carry with me and cherish the memories of the time we spent together.

Woke up to the devastatingly awful news of Jonathan Powell's death πŸ˜”

We lost a giant today and I still can't quite believe it.

I found solace in one of his own compositions, Sonata VI. This is an extract

I like making graphic scores to give to people. I made these with glittery nail polish, ready to give to cool people in Luxembourg at The Rainy Days Festival 😊
