Commissions

Most of my work has been written for specific performers or for a specific occasion. I am always keen to write something for an ensemble, a choir, or for an event. You Are An Alleluia was written for Morcia’s birthday. In Conversation was written for Pat Halling and the Quartet Pro Musica. Ave Verum was written for my god-daughter’s wedding and premièred by the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music.

​

If you would like a specially composed piece, please get in touch. Normally, there would be a small fee (for example, £500 for a short work, in line with recommendations from the Irish Contemporary Music Centre).  I will happily work with you if you are applying for a grant or want to use kickstarter. And if it’s something I want to write anyway (or a retrospective commission), there would be no fee!

​

Please contact us on composer@c8associates.com even if it’s only a distant thought in your mind. Either myself or my assistant Sophie Yelland will respond to you.​

“Dominic's string writing feels very natural, his pieces sounding like ready-made classics even on first hearing. He luxuriates in the sound of the instruments - their strength and resonance but also their fragility and tenderness.”

Dr Janet Oates, Soprano/Director/Composer
