Clement Jewitt began composing following a life review induced by simultaneous crises in his personal and professional lives in his forties.
He wished to put to deeper use his lifetime involvement in music making — choral singing, recorder playing and consort direction focussed on the baroque, guitar playing and teaching focussed on 19th and 20th C music, and tuba playing largely in brass bands.
At first an auto-didact in composition, he later gained a BMus at Birmingham Conservatoire, followed in 2006 by a PhD in composition. He has won several prizes for his compositions.
