 Sun 25th April, 2027:  Exciting Advance news.  Fraser and my latest collaboration! 'Oran Mor' ( Gaelic for 'The Great Song' ) is a series of  my meditative poems inspired by the   Celtic mythological  belief in sound as the beginning of the world.  This  has been set to music for a choir by Fraser David  McDonald and  has been                          commissioned to be part of a concert  featuring the headlining ' The Breath of Life ' by Mathew Coleridge to be performed in St Giles Cathedral,           Edinburgh.   It is possible for  experienced choral singers to rehearse and sing  both pieces (rehearsals on the Sat and Sun afternoon before the concert.)                                                                                                                                 Details below.
