Jeremy Thurlow’s homepage
The CD of your recent works gave me great pleasure. I’ve listened to them repeatedly and find them extremely seductive. I loved their real freshness, lightness, and innovative élan. - Henri Dutilleux
Welcome to Jeremy Thurlow’s homepage!
This is the place to hear excerpts from my music and to find out more about recent and upcoming performances, commissions, existing works and work in progress. There are links to performers’ websites and information on concerts and festivals. You can also read programme notes, request CDs or scores to be sent to you and, if you like, leave a comment or send a message. I hope you enjoy the site.
Several new mp3s are being added to the listening page over the next few days, and new pages and posts are always being added and updated. Soon there’ll be some photos of last summer’s video-opera, too. So do come back and visit the site again.

… [J.T.'s] piece brought in a welcome breath of wit, life and fresh air. It had a musing text [by Alistair Appleton] about all sorts of things - memory, nostalgia, how a baby learns, the private world of the deaf community. Jeremy Thurlow’s music - sung with lovely purity of tone - was as quirky and tenderly affecting as the texts.
