Congratulations to Our Composers

Huge congratulations to the winner of our composition competition, Caitlin Strike, and runner up Anna Freeman!

We were so impressed with the standard of entries, and it’s great to see such enthusiasm and skill in Cornish composing.

The winning composition is Caitlin's To Pastures of Peace, a beautiful, shimmering choral setting of words by the Cornish poet E.L.T Harris-Bickford, which is skilfully written and really impressed the judges. A worthy runner-up, Anna wrote Rain Will Come But It Goes, an atmospheric song for voice and piano. As Anna has already recorded her own lovely recording of her piece, we’ll be creating a professional transcription for her prize, while Caitlin’s piece will be recorded by a choir of young people in Cornwall.

We're really looking forward to sharing these pieces with you, and are working with the Cornwall Music Service Trust on an online event later in the project - updates to follow!
