This project was an absolute dream come true! I was asked to write music for a new Audible audiobook of one of my childhood favourites, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, directed by Megan Follows (who to my mind is Anne of Green Gables herself!) I had to write 70 minutes of music in 2 months (this is more than I usually write in 2 years), but somehow I did it, and had a great time! Thank you to Ken Woods, Seb Lovell-Huckle, Tim Burton, and the amazing musicians of the English Symphony Orchestra (Laura Jellicoe, Alison Lambert, Suzanne Woods, Sarah Ewins, Carl Hill, Corinne Frost and Daniel King Smith for their beautiful recording on such short notice: it was a real pleasure working with them. You can hear the Audiobook here (Audible has many versions of Anne of Green Gables: the one I wrote music for is the one released Nov 30, 2023.) If you listen carefully, you may hear some transcriptions of PEI birdsongs embedded in the music!
