Hi, I’m Hugh.
I write songs for musical theatre and cabaret, compose for classical ensembles, create unusual arrangements for popular songs, and have provided music for a few small films.
Here are a few samples of my work in various styles. If you have a project which needs music, and you think I might be a good fit, please get in touch.
When We Hear The Trumpets
A song from a musical comedy currently in development. The show is based on the classic Carey Grant film Topper.
The Human Engine Waits
A short work for chamber orchestra, featuring pulsating grooves, and sweeping strings.
Carthago Delenda Est
Some chamber music for a quirky indie film.
Electioneering
This is a very unusual arrangement of a song by the legendary English band Radiohead.
The Hottest Day of Summer
A fairly dark cabaret song about a kidnapping in New York City.
