His life-long love of music led him to compose from an early age and he now has a catalogue of over a hundred and fifty works including two operas, four symphonies, six string quartets, three piano sonatas and many other pieces for most instrumental and chamber groupings.
This site lists his published compositions.
Details of his other works will be found in The Music of Colin Bayliss: an annotated catalogue, due for publication by Da Capo Music Ltd in the near future.
He is a member of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, the North West Composers' Association and the Performing Rights Society.
As well as writing music himself, he has also compiled catalogues of the earlier works of Anthony Hedges and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
His concern for the state of music publishing led him to found his own
company in 1992 - Da Capo Music Ltd. This company has to date
published over 700 pieces, mainly of today's composers, and also
some recently discovered pieces and arrangements of works by
composers of the past.
It has also begun to record some of these works on compact
disc under the New Century Classics label.
