With the new edition of "Play to Win" (op 68) completed, Alun has written a version of "Musical Medication" from "Mindscapes" (op 138) for SATB choir and piano. Some of the accompanying string parts have had some

major changes as now a piano accompanies the choir. Also one minute has been shaved off the piece making it five minutes long.

It is hoped that the first performance of the song cycle "Mindscapes" (op 138) for tenor and string quartet, will happen sometime during 2010. In the pipeline is an arrangement of the cycle for piano and tenor, which hopefully will encourage further performances of the cycle.

After which Alun will begin a revision of his first orchestral piece, "Concentus Luctuosus" (op 12), written in the early eighties for string orchestra and percussion. In many ways it was a fore runner of “Triptych” (op 87) recorded on the CD “Now Welcome” and is the companion piece to “Concentus Laetificus” (op 134) completed in 2007. The two pieces will complete a diptych, orchestrated for similar instruments, with each piece being total opposites. The first being a slow and pensive work, the latter an up beat work. 

    

Recent performances have included Prelude no 3 in a very atmospheric and warm performance by Teresa Foster in a recent PDCA concert. In July Praeludium 3 (op 117) received a workshop performance by the London Contemporary Chamber Orchestra in Herne Hill, London. Plans are in the pipeline for the second CD of Alun's music which should be available next year.
