    A cycle of three Advent anthems with a text by S.E. Murray for ‘a cappella’ SATB choir. No. 2 contains solos for high soprano and bass. Commissioned by Prof. Peter Godfrey and the Kapiti Chorale in 1995, the work was first performed by Southern Consort of Voices in May 1996. By turns tender, meditative, and exhilarating with fresh, piquant harmonies.

Wedding Song for Saint Cecilia

 Year: 1993
for mixed choir

  • Instrumentation
    soprano and alto soloists, with female choir
  • Programme Note

    An invitation to compose a piece for St. Cecilia’s day … what to write? I consult my Calendar of Saints and read, ‘St Cecilia, virgin and martyr, date unknown, Roman Christan girl, is said to have converted her husband on their wedding night. At her wedding, says the earliest written account, Cecilia sang to the Lord with all her heart. During the middle ages … Cecilia became the patron saint of musicians.’

    And so it seems it was the beauty of Cecilia’s singing at her wedding that won over her husband, and laid the ground for her becoming the patron saint of music. And so for a text I extracted from that most sensuous of Biblical songs, the Song o Songs, and for musical inspiration looked to the melodies of Hildegard von Bingen, who in a sense is another kind of patron saint of music.
