This short setting of a traditional Afro-American spiritual text was written for Opus at Epsom Girls’ Grammar School (Auckland) in 2003. It makes use of the ‘call and response’ technique of early spirituals, and uses typical harmonic and melodic ideas. The meaning of these texts was most often covert. Therefore, only Christian slaves understood them, and even when ordinary words were used, they reflected personal relationship between the slave singer and God.

Inspired by and set to the poem Pied Beauty by Gerard Manly Hopkins, this piece is energetic and jazzy. There is a nice interplay between crisp rhythmic motifs and legato lines. The pianist and the choir needs to be nimble to get the rhythmic subtleties. A fast paced crotchet = 120 is in a swung rhythm. At times the SATB choir divides into SSAATB. The tenors and basses get some fun da ba das and dim de dims. It has enough challenge to suit a Big Sing Finale entry.

This is a gently flowing, mainly homophonic piece for SATB in Db major and 5/4 time.

The Dove wants to offer a sprig of hope and joy to the waiting ark, to the future. The melodic lines are mainly stepwise and the overall feeling is one of simplicity. It requires sustained tonal control.

These two short pieces were written at the request of English conductor Janet Lincé for her group Choros. The stipulation was that the pieces be to do with Advent rather than Christmas, and that the choir needed to be able to rehearse them reasonably quickly. The two texts are from hymns of unknown authorship. The first tells of the stars watching the various characters associated with the Christmas story, the shepherds and the wise men, while the second focuses particularly on the shepherds.
