My setting of the Magnificat is the fifth time I have set this text, but the first time in Latin and without an organ – it is an entirely different beast from the previous four.

The Missa Sancti Albanus is an attempt at an unaccompanied mass setting which is largely polyphonic and inspired by the great settings by the Renaissance masters.

Ave Maria, mater Dei is a setting of the text set so imaginatively by William Cornysh in the Eton Choirbook. My work takes the text and uses it in a rhapsodic fashion with two off-stage sopranos augmenting the main choir.

This work has been first performed Exeter University Chapel Choir and has since been programmed all across the world. It is dedicated to Paweł Łukaszewski.

Twelfth Night is a simple setting of Laurie Lee’s much-loved poem of the same title in which the poet vividly depicts a winter scene to emphasise the coming of the Wise Men.

For He is Our Peace is a dramatic anthem on this simple text of reconciliation. The piece is in a simple ABA form with associated harmonic areas to emphasise the change of material.
