Commissione
d by Christopher and
Nicola Lock for the St
James's Church, King
Street Organ Replacement
& Restoration Appeal in
November 2019, this is a
beautifully radiant
introit, with text taken
from a liturgical book of
processions, dating from
about 1526.
Shelly
explains: The format for
the plainchant is such
that there is a response,
a verse, and repetitions
of the response. I
haven't replicated the
format in my work,
instead setting it as one
'run-through' of the text
in a full choral setting.
I've also set it in a way
that the ending doesn't
sound final. This is
deliberate because as an
Introit, it is an
introduction to the
liturgy, and I want the
piece to 'lead in' to the
rest of the liturgy..

This
setting of Christina
Rossetti's poem
“Then Shall Ye
Shout†for
unaccompanied double
choir was commissioned by
Help Musicians UK for its
annual St Cecilia's
Festival service and
first performed by the
Choirs of St Paul's
Cathedral, Westminster
Abbey, and Westminster
Cathedral on 17 November
2021. Rossetti's text
describes singers biding
their time and staying
silent until the moment
they are able to come
together again and sing,
loudly and with passion.
The piece commemorates
the period in 2020 during
which musicians were
unable to perform due to
lockdowns caused by the
global pandemic.

Heavenly
Father was commissioned
by Sydney Chamber Choir
for a concert in 2022
which featured Heinrich
Schütz’s
Musikalische Exequien.
Melodic lines from
Schütz’s work
are used throughout
Heavenly Father: the
first soprano melody in
the opening chorus at
‘Herr Gott Vater in
Himmel’ is
featured at the beginning
and repeated throughout,
as are the melodies, for
example, at ‘Also
hat Gott die Welt
geliebt’, and at
‘seinem
verklärten
Leibe’, among
other places.
In a
conversation about what
this commission would be,
it was agreed that the
sense of the work would
be about the circle of
life expressed in
Musikalische Exequien
rather than about death
itself. It is because of
this ‘sense’
that the end of Heavenly
Father is reversed,
illustrating a musical
circle: the lower voices
sing the ‘Herr Gott
Vater in Himmel’
phrase backwards, and the
upper voices sing the
melodies backwards that
were sung by the lower
voices at the
beginning.
