This short Christmas cycle was written in 2012 for the end of year concert by South Auckland Choral Society to be conducted by the composer. The concert included my school choir, St Mary’s Schola, and I was keen to write something that the combined forces (including the soloists) in the concert could sing together. Several of the texts are traditional and anonymous, with more recent texts by Sara Teasdale and New Zealand poet and hymn writer Marnie Barrell.

The cycle doesn’t try to encapsulate the entire Christmas story, but focuses on those characters on the edge of the story – the angels, the shepherds and the wise men. The final text is a welcome to Christmas, naming a number of other participants in the story of Christmas, to which is added a quote from “In dulci jubilo”.

This lively and rhythmic Christmas piece sets the well-known text by Isaac Watts. The music adopts a gospel style with much use of syncopation. Towards the end of the piece a fragment of the well-known setting of this text briefly appears in both the accompaniment and the soloist’s parts. The work was commissioned for the staff and parents’ choir, directed by David Gordon, to sing at the annual carol service of Diocesan School for Girls in Auckland.

This contemporary worship song is energetic and a congregation can really get into it.
It enables us to respond to both the brilliance of God’s creation and his love for his creatures.
For our church’s 50th Jubilee in July 2011, I added choral parts.
G major, 4/4 time at a good speed.
Improvise the piano part based on the guitar chords.

This short work was written for the annual carol service of Diocesan School for Girls (Auckland) at the request of conductor David Gordon. The work was to feature a solo soprano and contain fairly easy choir parts for a staff choir. The text is of unknown authorship, and is originally simply titled “Advent Song”. The words look towards the coming of the baby Jesus, and the impact his arrival will have on the world. The work is in a relaxed jazz-swing style.
