A Blessing for Saint Kentigern

 Year: 2008
for 2-part treble-voice choir, SAB choir and piano

  • Programme Note

    This work was commissioned by choral director Stuart Weightman for performance at Saint Kentigern School in Auckland. The brief was to write a work that could be performed by the school’s choir, but which also included a section for the parent’s choral group attached to the school. Also, ideally the work would include something for both groups to sing together. Finally, it should be possible for either of the separate choir sections to stand alone as independent pieces.

    The suggested texts were a blessing from a bookmark given to all the boys at the school, and a blessing often used in chapel services. To the first text I added a couple of lines which closely matched the final section of the second text.

    The work begins with a blessing in unison and then 2 parts for treble voices. This is followed by a blessing for SAB choir, and then finally the two earlier sections are performed simultaneously.

A Treble-Voice Liturgy

 Year: 2008
for 2-part treble voices and organ (or piano) with optional instrumental part

  • Programme Note

    This setting of the liturgy for the Anglican service of worship was requested by Stuart Weightman for Auckland Boys Choir. The requirement was for a relatively straight-forward setting, in one or two vocal parts, with an optional instrumental part in some movements. Liturgical music presents certain challenges – the principal one being that the texts have to be immediately intelligible. The composer is also afforded little opportunity for repetition of text, or development of musical ideas.

    This set of music provides nine opportunities for involvement in the service of worship, and some of the movements could be used as independent anthems or concert items. The texts are taken from the New Zealand Prayer Book.
