David Fitzgerald's career has combined performing, composing & teaching as well as being something of a journey through various musical environments & genres. Following study at the prestigious Royal Marines School of Music in Deal, Kent, David served as principal flute & saxophone within HM Band of the Royal Marines throughout the world & principally in the Far East. After further years of working within the musical world of popular & world cultures David devoted his time & energy to working with many artists within the Christian Music industry. In 1989, following visits to the islands of Lindisfarne & Iona, he co-founded the musical project IONA , the result of discoveries made into the origins (particularly Celtic ones) of the Christian faith within these Islands. After two hugely successful recordings (Iona & Book Of Kells) he left the project & went back to study at APU (Colchester & Cambridge), focussing two years of this study into the origins & relevance of Liturgical Music throughout history. He has since undertaken extensive television & recording work and now devotes much of time teaching, adjudicating & directing worship, classical & jazz ensembles. With his Christian faith very much at the centre of his life, David has toured & recorded with many Christian artists & worship leaders over the years, including Graham Kendrick, Ron Kenoly, Don Moen & Adrian Snell. His highly acclaimed solo projects include 'Columcille', 'Lux Aeterna', 'Breath of Heaven' and 'God Is Love'. These have now been combined to form a 4CD box set, entitled 'In Paradisum', and was released by ICC in 2006. Many of these featured videos (included in the 'Favourite' section) feature artists that David has recorded and toured with & include David's distinctive Flute, Saxophone & Whistles sounds. If you get time do check out David's Playlists - these have many examples of music that has inspired him over the years. We hope that you enjoy these. April 2008
