This is Your TIme was commissioned by Lowther Hall Anglican School for Girls in 2014. Paul worked with the school to create a special new anthem that would sit along side the school hymn, to inspire and excite, and to take the girls into the 21st Century. Paul believed that the community itself held the key to the magic of the piece.
After working with all classes, researching with head staff, alumni, teachers, students and Principal, Paul chanced upon a letter, written in the school magazine, from two senior girls, addressed to the coming grades. It contained such beautiful affirmations regarding the journey ahead. Honest and thoughtful, Paul found this to be the inspiration needed to compose the piece.
The result is a positive message for children of all ages; to get out into the world, follow your heart and make every moment count.
