Recently he has devoted his time to composition, editing, and arranging.
His music unfailingly appeals to both performers and audiences; he has written for all kinds of choirs, with instrumental works for soloists, ensembles, chamber orchestras, and a wind band festival. Alan is also a respected writer of music for examination syllabuses and educational albums. His major publications include the inspirational Oxford Book of Flexible Anthems and Oxford Book of Flexible Carols, Alan Bullard Carols, and Alan Bullard Anthems.

"I love the melody to which the opening lines are set; it flows so simply yet so beautifully in triple time, giving real tranquillity and restfulness to the music. The flattened 7ths and gentle scotch snaps within the melodic lines and the open 5ths in the piano writing all help to give the piece its wonderful Scottish character and charm. The highpoint for me is the very simple refrain, lullaby-like in mood, with which each verse ends; the simplicity of this line set against the quaver movement of the upper piano part is extremely effective." - Music Teacher March 2003
