Dinosaurs. New music commission. RAAH!

A new commission! From Ty Cerdd, the National Music Centre for Wales, for a piece for narrator and brass trio. It's for young children, from age 4 upwards, and is about the best of all topics for the very young - dinosaurs!

The title is Teri Dactyl and the Meteor Seven.  I am writing the words, and Peter Reynolds the music. The piece will premiere in early 2014 with me narrating, and the Gwent Brass Trio playing. 

If ever you have wondered what would happen if a stegosaurus was to fall asleep on the road and block the traffic, then the story will attempt to answer that question!

At a recent meeting between Charlotte Griffin of Ty Cerdd, Peter Reynolds and myself, we were joined by some interested parties.
Santa is actually on his way to the Crickhowell Craft Fair on 23rd November, but called in to say hallo. 
 
I'm loving writing the story, but being VERY CARFEUL to get my dinosaur facts right - small children are acknowledged dinosaur experts!
