I’m working on a project with CoMA at the moment to create a collection of pieces that can be performance-ready in under an hour, and suitable for players from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. I’ve found it useful to have pieces available that can be put together quite quickly from scratch when working with our students, and wanted to develop this into a resource that others could use in education, community and performance contexts. I’m working with Emory and Tamara at CoMA to source pieces through their collection, other scores I have access to, and a call for scores. There is more information about the submission process at the CoMA website. If you or anyone you know has work that might be suitable please get in touch via the submission form or just contact me directly. The aim is to launch the anthology at the CoMA Festival in March 2026.

Hi James – Tom Armstrong here. This is a brilliant idea and I’d be well up for contributing something if I can find the time. I’ve got one or two things of my own but also a few good student contributions. I would be very interested indeed to use the collection once it is available.
