Work
O Mistress mine
for SSA choir and piano
About
Commissioned by the St Margaret's College Chamber Choir, this is a setting for SSA and piano of one of Shakespeare's best-known verses. This has been set many times by many different composers and that, in itself, was a challenge. The ostinato in the piano part propels the music onwards and the final key change leaves us feeling that youth is, indeed, a stuff that does not endure.
