This work, When Christ Was Born of Mary Free, sets the words of a traditional carol dating from the 15th century sensitively in D minor for the verse, moving to a more joyous F for the Chorus. Darke's papers list this piece as having been scored for Soprano solo, Chorus SATB and Piano. Harold E Darke was an English composer and Organist of international renown. Darke composed extensively for choir and Organ. In 1916, he established the Monday lunchtime Organ recitals at St Michael's Cornhill which continue to this day, the longest-running such series in the world. His setting of Christina Rosetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter created a melody and lilting Organ accompanimentthat has never fallen from favour. It is regarded as one of the greatest of Christmas carols.

Cidade do Sul, or just O Sul, is a piece for soprano and piano composed in 2000 by request of the Maestro Jose Luis de Delas, with whom I studied during that time in Alcala de Henares (Madrid). The poem's title is Cidade do Sul and it belongs to the book Beira Norte from Xavier Baixeras, an important Galician poet and also a friend. One of the most important things to take into account for its performance is what the poem says, because that is the reason for the accompaniment to be so simple. The difficulty of the piece is medium-high due to the rhythmic difficulties of both performers and also to the melodic difficulties (with big intervals) that the soprano finds.
