Described by The Times as "thrilling music... contemporary and original... impressive and profoundly affecting". Francis Pott's writing provides a treasure-trove of astonishingly beautiful composition. Meditations and Remembrances is a new collection of choral and organ pieces of extraordinary tenderness and masterly technique.

Francis Pott began his musical life as a chorister at New College, Oxford. He held open music scholarships at Winchester College and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He was appointed administrative Head of Music at London College of Music and Media in 2001, subsequently becoming its Head of Composition and Research Development on Music, Media and Creative Technologies. He was a member of Winchester Cathedral Choir under David Hill from 1991 until 2001 and remains an active pianist and accompanist, uniting both composition and academic research.
