To Notice Such Things is a studio album by former Deep Purple keyboard player Jon Lord, commissioned and premiered with the composer by Shipley Arts Festival ( Artistic Director Andrew Bernardi ) in 2009 and later released through Avie in 2010.

It is titled after the main work, a six-movement suite for solo flute, piano and string orchestra, composed by Lord in memory of his close friend the late Sir John Mortimer, CBE, QC.

Jon says of the piece, "I wanted to give the flute the job of speaking for John throughout the Suite; his laughter and his sighs, his wistfulness and occasional mild cantankerousness, his playfulness, and also the anguish and then the acceptance of his final days.

Jon Lord performed three movements from To Notice Such Things at Mortimer’s memorial service at Southwark Cathedral with Bernardi Music Group in November 2009, in front of an audience that included the Duchess of Cornwall, members of the Mortimer family, Lord Mandelson, Lord Kinnock, Jeremy Paxman, Alan Rickman, Peter O’Toole, Sir Tom Stoppard and Jeremy Irons, whose noble reading of "Afterwards" closes the recording of To Notice Such Things.

Later recorded by Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Clark Rundell (conductor), Cormac Henry (flute on tracks 1-6), Jon Lord (piano), Thelma Handy (leader).
