Nativitie (2016) was composed for the Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne for inclusion in their 2016 carols services on December 2 and 3. The premiere performances were conducted by Acting Director of Music Sam Allchurch, with Gillian McNaughton accompanying. It has since been recorded for CD (Beneath the Incense Tree, APL17427) as part of the College's centenary celebrations for the consecration of the Horsfall Chapel in 2017, with current Director of Music Chris Watson conducting. The text is taken from John Donne's sonnet cycle on the gospel narrative of Christ, for which Nativitie is the third in sequence.
