For counter-tenor, clarinet in A, and 16-part SATB choir. The piece sets extracts from the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and is made up of six choral movements, including a substantial solo role for countertenor. Between these movements come five interludes for solo clarinet. Wittgenstein himself played the instrument, so here is a different projection of aspects of the philosopher. The countertenor's part may be sung in English or German.

for solo, duet, trio, and SATB with organ
Vincent Novello's arrangement of four verses of the well-known 'Hymn for Christmas' builds from soprano solo, through duet for tenor and bass and trio for alto, tenor and bass (with melody in the middle part), to a full SATB final verse. The traditional English text is given together with the original Latin. Colin Mawby has supplied a fascinating preface tracing the history of the piece.

For solo baritone, SATB chorus and organ With a text by G. M. Hopkins, this work is interspersed with frequent solo passages, initially for baritone (whose delicate solo opens the piece) but later for tenor, soprano, and alto soloists also. The polyphonic choral passages provide a balance to these frequent solos, to mesmerising effect.
