Concert Music for large ensembles
Note that James has composed a lot of additional music for large ensembles which appear in the education pages. Some works orginally commissioned for education ensembles which are challenging enough at least for adult community ensembles also appear here.
Passion was commissioned by MLC School and was premiered at the Sydney Opera House on May 21st, 2013. A recording will appear here soon. See also the resources page (Orff Conference 2013) for learning activities to do with this work.
