MUSIC FOR DANCE
Hilary took part in a special residential course – “Music Composition for Dance” – at the European Dance Development Centre in Arnhem, Netherlands from 1998 – 1999. This unique course was taught by the American composer and trombonist James Fulkerson. During this intensive year he composed for many new choreographies with a special emphasis on electroacoustic composition as well as trombone improvisation with dance. Since completing this course Hilary has continued to work with many choreographers and dancers on a regular basis. Below are a few examples of some of his music for dance, more will be uploaded soon…
