New music
Be a commissioner
Support and help create music being written right now – small-scale or massive projects, and/or add your seal to music already written and out in the real world. This all enables new, real creativity, and all commissioners are acknowledged on the score, and in real life.
Two commissioning slots open for 2027. I take on a small number of projects each year.
New work
Commission a new piece
New work is costed at approximately A$1,000 per minute of finished music. GBP and other currencies by arrangement.
The next major work
A Passion Foretold
Multiyear project
A quadraphonic Passion setting all four Gospel accounts into a parallel narrative – a diatessaron – which may be performed separately or together. A fully immersive experience for both audience and musicians.
The retroactive seal
Commission music already written
Retroactive commissioning supports music already written. Movements of the Requiem for the Time of the End are available now. No conversation needed, no diary to negotiate.

One per movement, by its nature scarce
Movements of the Requiem for the Time of the End, completed in 2025, are available for retroactive commissioning now.
Gloriously sung by this superb choir, Antony Pitts’s collection of choral music has the potential to be a real runaway success.
