Ryan Sayce

Composition

Ryan is a composer with a vast experience in writing compositions and arrangements for many different types of ensemble; from choirs to orchestras to school bands.

He has produced many works for different solo instruments in varying styles. This includes some commissioned works for music students at Kingston University London, performing on flute and voice. Influence from great Russian, German and French composers can be seen in his works through the use of harmony and melodic writing - Ryan then combines this with his own style of composition to create the final work.

Some works are available to listen to on Soundcloud at:
