Barry Douglas has signed an exclusive contract with Chester Music for his compositions. Works by Douglas include Five Fables for chamber orchestra, his orchestrations of John Field’s Nocturnes, Chant for Colombanus, Bunting Harp Airs and a series of arrangements of Celtic melodies and songs.

Barry said, “I am very excited to be working with the team at Chester Music. I have had the good fortune to have performed many of their composers’ music and so feel very privileged to be included in their marvellous company. We have a few beautiful projects realised already and many more planned.”

James Rushton, Managing Director of Chester Music comments: “It is rare indeed to have the chance to work with such a great artist as Barry Douglas and right at the beginning of his career as a composer. The potential of the new projects that are already in development is very exciting.”
