His commitment to English twentieth-century repertoire is reflected through his founding and leadership of the Percy Whitlock Trust until its copyright income ceased and in hisongoing Chairmanship of the Gerald Finzi Charitable Trust. He specialises in transcribing music for organ and in liturgical composition.

Rezensionen

This is a useful collection of 33 pieces of varying styles and character . . . As with all Oxford publications, the quality of production is superb. The music is well annotated, with editorial markings in brackets. Heavyweight paper ensures the book will last for many years. Altogether, for many organists this is a collection that will be used and reused for many years. It contains a wealth of new compositions, useful arrangments, and old favourites. It contains some challenges for the organist, but also has pieces that could be read at sight. A highly recommended investment. Organo Pleno (was Victorian Organ Journal), April 99
