  • Programme Note

    This work was written as a commission for Baroque Voices, with funding from Creative NZ, to be premiered at the Baroque Voices “Alleluia: a newe work!” concert in May 2008. The concept of the performance is to juxtapose Contemporary New Zealand works with Medieval European ones – and in this case, Hoquetus Sanctus pairs well with Hoquetus David (written by Guillaume de Machaut in the 14th Century), as it explores the idea of hocket, where vocal lines are ‘shared’ between different voices, sometimes jumping from one to another and overlapping each other – however, it can equally well be performed in any choral concert.

    Hoquetus Sanctus is a setting of the Latin Sanctus text for a capella chamber choir or small vocal ensemble.

  • Programme Note

    During the Srebrenica massacre – Europe’s largest genocide since the Second World War – over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered in a single day. Against the background of increasing anti-Islamic sentiment and rhetoric in numerous countries, composer Samuel Gray wants us to remember the atrocities that have been committed against Muslims in recent European history so as to encourage a more balanced view of Muslim people than the contemporary diatribe that casts all Muslims as terrorists and extremists.
