I’ve just released the piano score for my Nocturne in D Major 🎼 This piece had an unusual beginning… It actually started life as a song, inspired by the words from Psalm 23:“The Lord is my shepherd…” But the song didn’t come together. Instead of forcing it, I sat at the piano and let the music lead—and slowly it became something else…a nocturne. What emerged feels calm, reflective, and full of quiet assurance.Almost like the music found where it belonged. It also stretched me as a pianist—those flowing chords between both hands took real work to bring under control! 🎧 You can listen here:👉 https://youtu.be/wnbbZimopCU 🎼 And if you’d like to play it, the score is now available:👉 https://www.paulnoblecomposer.com/product/nocturne-in-d-score/ 🎁 I’m also giving away the free score of my piece Adieu(written in memory of my father) Download it here:👉 https://www.paulnoblecomposer.com/adieu-landing-page/ I’d love to know—what does this piece make you feel?

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a quick update on the direction of this group. Over time, it’s become clear to me that I want to focus this space more around my piano music and compositions—creating a place where pianists can not only listen, but actually play and engage with the music. So going forward, this will become the Paul Noble Piano Collection—a home for my original piano scores, recordings, and a growing body of work that I’ll be sharing with you. There will still be a sense of community here, but the main focus will now be:🎼 The music🎹 Playing the pieces🎧 Experiencing and understanding them more deeply If you enjoy discovering and playing new piano music, I think you’ll really enjoy where this is going. Thanks so much for being part of the journey—I really appreciate you being here. — Paul

What’s everybody working on this week?

I’ve just completed Mass No. 2 in G minor — and instead of slowing down, I’ve gone straight back to Mass No. 1. Today I orchestrated the final movement of what I’m calling my Lutheran Mass — a bright, hymn-like “Cum Sancto Spiritu” in G major for SATB choir, strings, oboe and flute. It’s confident. Joyful. Direct. And here’s the interesting part… This was actually the very first movement I ever orchestrated now it closes the whole work. There’s something deeply satisfying about that — beginning and ending in the same key, in the same spirit of praise: Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen. Two Masses. Two very different characters.But both rooted in the same desire — to write music that is singable, clear, and full of glory. Please listen and like the channel. How does it make you feel?

My large choral and orchestral work Mass no 2 is going to be performed by the Fareham philharmonic choir and orchestra in the future. They have also commissioned me to write some music for a Christmas concert. God opens doors!
