Prologue
From the time I was a young child, life was full of music. I still recall the pleasure and excitement of the first time I picked out a tune of my own making at the piano. It wasn’t clever, beautiful, or particularly original. However, to my eight-year-old sense of wonder, it was the first experience of creating music.
All these years later, I am still filled with wonder by the adventure of composing.

Where the Red Fern Grows
A timeless story from the award-winning novel, three-times adapted for the big screen, inspired this piece for treble choirs. The beloved tale by William Rawl is captured in text painting and soaring melodies, making it a perfect addition to any concert of the year.
With original poem by Louise N. Clarkson.

The Creative Path
At times the road is quite direct. But just as often, there are surprises, detours, delays, and moments when wandering off the path results in wasting time or getting lost. And just to keep me coming back for more, other unfamiliar wanderings lead to vistas of indescribable wonder.
Endorsements & Reviews
Peter is an outstanding composer and professional. Collaborating with him on the commission for Florida all-state elementary choir was a joy. He has a keen understanding of the voice and readiness level of the singers he is composing for. The premiere was a success and a much loved piece of the children!
We are honored at St. Mary’s to have joined with such venerable institutions as Canterbury Cathedral and Carnegie Hall as a place that has been blessed by the music of Peter Robb. He understands that sacred music is not just a performance, but that music is holy and a way that many of us connect with the divine. I am grateful to have worked with Peter for over a decade; it has been a joy and privilege.
Thank you Peter Robb for the beautiful music you have brought to choral rehearsals and concert halls. I always know that your music will ‘fit’ the voice, with beautiful melodies, sensitivity to word stress, and part writing.
