DAVID JOHNSTONE - COMPOSER

This section includes the original Works of Johnstone. It does not follow any special pattern, but you will be able to see that it more-or-less goes from pieces with the most number of musicians to the least. We are always interested to hear of any recording of any piece of Johnstone; apart from including it here we could give it good publicity in the ‘News’ section…

If you would like to send a comment as a listener (hopefully positive!) about any piece, or about the web in general, simply visit the “Contact” section and leave a message with the details - we’d be happy to hear from you!

 ENJOY THE MUSIC!
