Leise rieselt der Schnee uses as a starting point the Austrian carol of that name. The piece is a kind of homage to Austrian folk music, which is so pure in its simplest forms, and which has had such a wide influence through the music of classical composers. I have also used other music which is still sung in the alps, as well as some ‘jodlers’ of my own: the plainchant, Christ ist erstanden, Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen by Isaac, Verlassen bin i, in Alpine dialect, and the Andachtsjodler, which is traditionally sung at Christmas. I also used a few bars of Mozart’s clarinet quintet, which is very like the Andachtsjodler, because the spirit of Alpine folk music is very much alive in his music.

Leise rieselt der Schnee was written for the Sydney University Musical Society.

Lie Deep My Love was finished in 1996 and written especially for the New Zealand National Youth Choir who have since performed them frequently. The first song, Lie Deep My Love, depicts the grief and longing for a departed love; the second, Earth does at length, the inevitability of our mortality; and in the third, Blow, wind of fruitfulness, the spirit of the wind is implored to stir life into all creation again.

Use is made of low bass tessitura, solo voices and canons to create specific colours and textures in the vocal writing and to help characterise those images of New Zealand Baxter was so fond of depicting.

In 1996, I undertook to write a musical called The Last Word for the Festival Singers under the directorship of Guy Jansen. I shared the job with a fellow member of the choir Felicia Edgecombe. The show ran over several nights at Queen Margaret College hall in Thorndon Wellington and explored the words of Jesus and the impact these had on his contemporaries and today. The solo version of this song was well received and called for a choral arrangement. It is an accessible homophonic piece in 6/8 time in F major modulating finally to D major. It is useful as an anthem, part of a service or concert piece.

A 4 part (and alternative 3 part for SSA) unaccompanied setting of the Latin Mass for choir. There are times when voice parts divide in order to fill out a chord. Each section of the mass is short, and hence may be used in either an ecclesiastical setting by a trained choir, or as part of a choral concert.

This Mass setting for unaccompanied SATB choir has been widely used by cathedral choirs in New Zealand and is available in both SATB and SSA combinations.
