St. Luke's mass is a traditional setting of 12 numbers based upon the texts in six languages: English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian. Each number is unique and specific for an ethnic tradition and a period. The styles are intentionally diverse; the music is tonal. The Mass can be performed in small churches as well as in large cathedrals. The accompaniment is limited to grand piano and/or organ. The Mass can be performed as a whole during the Lent or Easter season. Separate numbers can be performed throughout the year as the anthems and the elements of service music.

Yektenia's text is taken from the Liturgy of John Chrysostom in English translation. It combined the deacon's Invitation to the Prayer from Eastern Orthodox tradition and the People's Prayer from the Episcopalian rite. The syle is related to style antico of the Byzantinian psaltica. The mood is majestic and didactic, with a significant rhetorical component. Can be performed before or as a part of the People's Prayer. The accompaniment can be given to piano, organ, or strings.

The idea for this piece came during the first few weeks in Autumn 2020. It was a melancholy day, and the soft patters of a rain shower had just begun sounding on the roof. During this time, I had been going through much change in my personal life; at the time, it seemed very dire. As I began to put together the Lyrics, melody and harmony for this piece, the reminder of hope for the future uncovered itself. So, a piece first beginning with a distressing feeling of loss arrived at a point of hope for the future.The piece begins with the very centre vocalists clicking at random, ?raindrop simulating? timing, eventually spreading to the whole of the group as if the rain shower is fully set in. The vocal lines were written with the melody in mind, a melancholy song, becoming passionate and resolving the song with harmonies which replicate the feeling of peacefulness and a conclusion of clicks, settling the rain shower.
