Orchestral Music:
Sinfonietta No.1 ("Silver"):
Bob's first Sinfonietta ("Silver") is available for orchestral programming and repertoire from Studio Music. It was the idea of getting younger people interested in classical music which first prompted Bob to create a short, melodic, accessible symphony. A sinfonietta. A bit like taking symphonies back to how they started, this is a short symphony for full orchestra, with each of the three movements (Moderato-Allegro-Lento) being around three minutes.
Sinfonietta No.2 ("Heroes"):
Bob's second Sinfonietta ("Heroes") is also available for orchestral programming and repertoire from Studio Music. More technically demanding than Sinfonietta No.1, "Heroes" follows the same principles of duration and accessibility.
March Not Alone:
"One man has but one heart and is one man on his own, 'til one man stands beside him then he'll never be alone."
With an element of tension through the use of ostinato, and released by rich harmonic chords, "March Not Alone" is all about building sometihng wonderful from small beginnings; begun by a few, and becoming powerful and glorious as others join in and add their worth. Performance materials for full orchestra are available from Studio Music.
Orchestral Suite No.1 ("The Animal Suite"):
Celebrating the natural world, this suite of five zoological sketches continues the composer's quest to write short, meaningful, attractive and accessible classical works for young ears to enjoy. Performance materials for full orchestra will be available summer 2024
Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree:
"Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree" is a charming narrated Christmas story about a girl who gets lost and meets a witch. Narration is interspersed with characterful pieces of music for full orchestra. It will also be available summer 2024
Silent Pool:
The waters of the Silent Pool in Albury, Surrey, are exceptionally clear and still. Legend has it that the pool is haunted, and this work interweaves calm, atmospheric music with Christina Buchanan's beautiful re-telling of the legend, seen from an unusual viewpoint. An intimate work scored for piano, narrator and solo instrument (cello, clarinet or horn). Scores will be available summer 2024

Silver's Ghost
Set against a backdrop of World War II, Silver's Ghost tells the story of Silver Brizeley-Lemington and her fiancé, Jack.
"If you make a difference for people after you, even if you die, people remember that. You might save a life, or defend someone you love, and when they remember what you did, they remember you. And if they remember you, you've not really gone.”
Set entirely in the grand hallway of a stately home, this ghost story begins in the late summer of 1939 when the storm clouds of war are gathering.
The timeless and enduring love between the two young leads is contrasted with a burgeoning romance, as it charts the efforts which Mrs Grimshaw, the grumpy hypochondriacal housekeeper, makes to deter the romantic advances of Cedric Perkins, the irrepressible local postman.
Music by Bob Good, dialogue by Christina Buchanan, and additional material by Pete Knott and David Burton.
