Murder Trial - BBC TV Series

Seven episodes of the BBC Network series Murder Trial are now available to watch on BBC iPayer.

The series marks the first time I have worked with another composer and what a fruitful collaboration it was! LA-based Paul Leonard-Morgan had previously written the title theme so along with a lot of original composition I had fun doing what composers have done down the centuries by writing variations on a pre-existing theme and incorporating it into my own work.

Huge thanks to Paul for getting me involved and for his invaluable guidance throughout the process.

Massive thanks to Alice Allen and Patsy Reid for their beautiful string playing which brings the score to life and to Keir Long at GloWorm Recording Studios for so expertly capturing their sound.

Finally thanks and respect to Matt Pinder, all at Firecrest Films and the BBC commissioners for trusting me to come up with the musical goods.

The series has been so beautifully shot and edited with a compassion and a sensitivity to the seriousness of the subject matter. Paul and I dearly hope the music contributes to this subtle storytelling and helps in a small way keep the memory of the victims alive.
