_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Composer Alan Davis was born in Birmingham in 1945. He studied at the Royal College of Music, Keble College Oxford, and undertook postgraduate research on the music of Hotteterre at Birmingham University.

He held recorder teaching appointments at Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham Music Service, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Chetham's School of Music and the Junior Department of the Royal Northern College of Music. In 1979 he founded Birmingham Schools Recorder Sinfonia which he directed until 2010.

He wrote primarily though not exclusively for the recorder, usually in response to a specific request or performance opportunity. He particularly enjoyed the challenge of writing for children and amateur players in a style which is both contemporary and accessible.

Alan passed away in October 2021.
