Welcome to the Judith Bailey website

 

Judith Bailey (1941-2025) was a British composer who published extensively in various forms. After training at the Royal Academy of Music in London, she spent some 30 years freelancing and was conductor of the Southampton Concert and Petersfield Orchestras. In 2001 she returned to her native Cornwall. Judith's compositions have been been widely performed. She also painted and some of her pictures can be seen here.

These pages were originally created in November 2006 and were last updated in July 2026. Several scores have been added and these may be accessed via the links below.

Sadly Judith passed away on 16 March 2025 after a short illness and her obituary is here.
