I'm happy to meet your requirements for classical music programme notes and preview features, covering all periods and genres (opera, orchestral, choral, chamber, vocal, instrumental) from the age of Haydn and Mozart onwards. As a composer, I naturally have wide knowledge of the music of the 20th and 21st centuries.

This year is the bicentenary of Liszt, the subject of my new biography for Naxos Books. And 2012 will see major anniversaries of Delius and Debussy. Does the programme you're planning or promoting include works by these composers? Contact me to see if I can help.

Depending on what you require, and on the amount of fresh research I may need to do, my fees are negotiable. You'll find them competitive and realistic. 

On the submenus to the left, you'll find links and downloads to:

• a complete list of my programme notes already on file 
• sample programme notes (which you're free to reproduce without charge, provided that you contact me beforehand, don't change anything, and clearly display my name and copyright when publishing)  
• a list of my books on music, including current projects 

Please contact me at malcolmhayes@btinternet.com.
