Richard Willmer

This is my personal site, where most of my work is published.

I compose in several different styles, always taking into consideration the material I have at my disposal.

My music is tonal, even if at times it is difficult, even for me, to pinpoint the exact tonality or mode of a piece. I tend toward simplicity, very often writing pieces that can be played by beginners, and I never write complex or difficult music for the sake of if.

Most of my compositions are for solo instruments, both modern and historical: the piano, the fortepiano, the harpsichord; or chamber ensembles: violin and piano, flute and harp and viola and piano.

I have music for special occasions, such as Christmas, as well as music based on folklore, mostly English and Manx

Not only do I compose original music, but I also arrange works from other composers, both old and contemporary.

To complete the selection, I also engrave selected works from manuscript sources.
