Edmund’s debut album ‘Choral Reflections‘ has been reviewed by BBC Music Magazine, giving it 4 stars: ‘…this is certainly work calculated to transport…sung beautifully here by the Nonsuch Singers under Tom Bullard.’ Fanfare magazine also wrote ‘it captures joy and wonder in equal measure brilliantly and Jolliffe’s music has real substance.’ The album was made possible with funds from the PRS Composers Fund and brings together expressive anthems, radiant carols and the seven-movement Sleep Cycle.

Current commissions include new carols for the ORA Singers, Oxford University Press and Westminster School. He has also been commissioned to compose a collection of songs for the Amabile Choir to be premiered at the International Interkultur Choir Festival. ‘Music of the Angels’ has been selected for performance by the Redmond Choral in Washington in December. ‘Vivas!’  for choir and soloists has been awarded first prize in the Our Song Atlanta Competition and will be premiered in 2027. The Twiolins have released a single of ‘Waltz Diabolique’ for violin duo and beatboxer.

TV/Film: Edmund is currently writing music for two new BBC documentaries. ‘Celebrity Traitors’ will begin airing in autumn 2026 and will feature additional music by Edmund (as will Season 5 of ‘The Traitors’ coming in January 2027). Recent work includes two new Norma Percy documentary series for the BBC: ‘Brexit: How Britain voted out’ and ‘Clash of the Superpowers’.

Production Music: A new album ‘Jeopardy 3’ (Extreme Music) for use on the next forthcoming series of ‘The Traitors/Celebrity Traitors’ has recently been completed. Edmund’s tenth album for De Wolfe Music Library ‘Curiosities’ is now available. Tracks from his previous De Wolfe albums are regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
