Composed for the Childrens Chorus of Opera North, this is an upper voice setting of Thomas Hardys poem of the same name ('Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock'). The swaying jazz waltz style and chromatic, but very singable melody combine to create an effective and unique carol to add some variety to a choirs Christmas programme. The vocal parts are very approachable, with unison verses and two or three-part wordless refrains (sung to 'oo').

Thomas Simaku 's Albanian Wedding Song for SSA choir. This song is part of a set published as Three Albanian Folk Songs for Female Choir. Qenke veshur me të bardha (Dressed in White - Kosova) is the most popular wedding song which is sung not only in Kosova, but in every Albanian wedding. As in most folk songs, these tunes are remarkably short. The melodies themselves have not been altered, but have been extended, enriched in texture, and presented in different ways. The melodic lines serve as a point of departure for the proliferation of a distinct harmonic vocabulary for each song. Within the overall folk idiom of the piece, each song has its own flavour and character.

The flavor of an early, American tune comes through in this delightful new composition, featuring a minimal (but effective) handbell accompaniment! Memorable writing for 2-part mixed voices in the middle of the piece yields to a homophonic 3-part texture that brings the piece a fitting, reflective close.
