Mallard Music

About us

Mallard Music is run by husband and wife team Colin and Susan Ashworth.  The first work to enter the Mallard Music catalogue was "By George".   Many other works by both Colin and Susan are now available although they compose in different styles.  Nicholas Burt, Susan's brother, was Director of Music at Bilton Grange and has had works published by the R.S.C.M.  Some challenging but approachable music of his appears in our catalogue.  Colin was at university with David Drinkell and also with John Goodrum who composed "Lunchtime".

Susan Ashworth's compositions have been extremely well-received in Northamptonshire and she was commissioned by Glapthorne school, Oundle, to write a new carol "The best gift".  She also won a competition to write a new hymn on the theme 'Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever'.  This hymn ("Here and now") was first performed at the Millennium 'Songs of Praise' at Rushden and Diamonds Football Stadium, and aired on BBC Radio Northampton.  More on the Biographies page.

Colin Ashworth (BA. BSc. FRCO, FLCM)  is now Director of Music at Maidwell Hall.
