Shelley's setting of the Matins Responsory for Lent 1 was written for a group of singer-friends. It is based on Pierre de Manchicourt’s setting of the same text, and though taking its stylistic lead from Manchicourt, Shelley very cleverly infuses her own harmonic and rhythmic language into a new and brilliant creation.

The motet Bless the Lord, O My Soul (2013) on verses from Psalm 103 exploits the possibilities of vocal combinations and the resulting sound effects to a high degree: In the opening invocation O my soul, the soprano 1 ascends to float above the fanned out low chord of the other voices; and beginning from For as the heavens are high above the earth, an eight-part fugato masses together into an extensive architecture of sound. The harmony of the work is tonal, but many enriched chords create a tension rich in nuances in the setting. The work has been released on the CD Rejoice. Vocal Music by Kay Johannsen (Carus 83.496/00).
