New Piece uploaded for Recorder Quartet (SATB) with recording: This slowish piece for soprano, alto, tenor and bass recorders is very loosely based on Janacek's piano arrangement of Moravian Folksongs. However, the melody has been changed and there is a just hint of the mood of Janacek's piece remaining. Those interested may wish to compare it to another of Burnell's pieces 'A Spotted Version of Moravian Folksong No. 11'. Recordings are linked to the score pages for both pieces.; 12 Jun 2013, Article

Recording uploaded for Janácek, 15 Moravian Folksongs - arranged for String Quartet: I know that sometimes synthesiser recordings do not always provide a perfect interpretation of a piece, but I've decided regardless to upload a synth version of my string quartet arrangement of Janacek 15 Moravian Folksongs - on the basis that, in this case, something is better than nothing. If there are any string quartets out there that would like to try out the arrangement then please get in touch.; 15 Feb 2013, Article
Janácek, 15 Moravian Folksongs - arranged for String Quartet: Paul Burnell came across Janacek's Moravian Folksongs as a result of listening to recordings made by Thomas Adès. Paul thought that the pieces would arrange well for string quartet and finished work on the arrangements in 2013. Both the score and parts are available here on MusicaNeo. The Fifteen Moravian Folksongs were composed by Leos Janácek in 1922 for piano with the folk melodies presented with the song texts. Should the ensemble wish to include singers the string quartet arrangements ...; 10 Feb 2013, Article

Cocooned, recording uploaded: A recording included on the album 'Face Each Aged Ache' has been uploaded for the canon 'Cocooned'. The piece is written for 2 instruments in C, and 1 instrument in either Bb, F or Eb which means that the harmony produced will be determined by the combination of instruments that are playing.

There's a Tree Filled with Wings: One of several pieces to be uploaded that appear on the new album 'Face Each Aged Ache' Here is link to album on iTunes: Face Each Aged Ache I was in Peckham Rye Park in London last summer and heard the faintest echo of a couple of notes of music - might have been a mobile phone, someone's mp3 player, I don't know. Anyway, a melodic phrase developed in my head and when I got home I did a google search on Peckham Rye, and found a great quote from a biography of William Blake that ...
