Last summer (2011) Alun completed another song cycle. This time using four poems about animals by Marjorie Wheeler which are suitable for children to sing. All four of the songs are quite different. The first is in his usual style while the second has a very folk song atmosphere, the third is a rap and the fourth a round for four singers. The first three songs can be sung either by a single voice or by a choir of children.The title of the piece is "carmina d'animalibus " op146.

In September the Chorale Prelude on "Aberystwyth" op 107 had another airing by Kevin Grafton over in Austria in a joint concert by Kevin Grafton, Organist of St Bartholomew's Church, Otford in Kent and by a Welsh Male voice Choir on tour in Austria.

On 19th November Alun played two early piano pieces in a Portsmouth District Composers' Alliance concert in  the Holy Spirit Church, Southsea, Portsmouth. The two pieces were the Sinfonia Suite op 6 and the first prelude for piano op 19.

 During the later months of 2011, Alun completed a short 5 minute fantasia/scherzo on a well-know pop song of the 1990's. Quite a few pop and rock musicians have delved into the classical work for their musical ideas. Alun thought it was about time the cross over also went the other way. As to the name of the song on which the piece has been written, it is being kept a secret for the moment at least.  It will present a little puzzle when audiences hear the work. This work is scored for a chamber orchestra and bears the simple title of "Scherzo. A Musical Joke" op 147. This work will have a workshop performance on 31st March, 2012.

During 2012 Alun hopes to compose a second scherzo this time for double wind quintet, a short string quartet and another piano prelude plus revise "exegi monumentum" op 81. Plans are still being made for a second CD of Alun's music.
