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.

Noah’s Fire is my largest work to date, as well as the most ambitious and with the longest gestation. This work is envisaged as an oratorio in the ‘British Oratorio Tradition’, a tradition of large-scale, choral-orchestral works.

My third setting of the Evening Service is a departure from the previous two which were reflective and subdued; this setting is much more vivacious and declamatory.

O lux beata Trinitas (2013) is a setting of words by St Ambrose drawing parallels between the Holy Trinity and different forms of light.

Veni Sancte Spiritus is a simple setting of this Pentecost Antiphon. The choir sing in restrained homophony for the most part, but spread into full multi-part ecstasy for key moments in the text.
