Composer		Chris's research interests include music of the Renaissance, English sacred music, keyboard music and historical performance practice. He has published academic articles in Early Music, The Organ Yearbook and The Musical Times. He has given papers at several conferences, and has been interviewed on musical topics on the radio. He read music at the University of Bristol, going up with an Organ Scholarship. As an undergraduate, Chris was a recipient of the Napier Miles Prize for academic work. He wrote his BA dissertation on the solo organ music and sacred choral music of Kenneth Leighton. A University of Wales Research Studentship took him next to Cardiff University where he wrote his PhD thesis, British Cantus Firmus Settings for Keyboard from the Early Sixteenth Century to the Middle of the Seventeenth Century. Chris undertook post-doctoral work on the Mackworth and Aylward Collections of music in Cardiff University and he worked with Professor John Caldwell of the University of Oxford on the article Keyboard Music to 1750 in the 2001 edition of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. In recent years, he has undertaken educational research, particularly in the area of teaching more able and talented children.  He routinely carries out action research as part of his teaching post and his submission for the Fellowship of the College of Teachers has been published on the web.
