Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1088788). This piece is an original arrangement based on the wistful English folk melody 'Barbara Allen'. It takes the form of a 7-verse Epiphany carol, with introduction and coda, setting a poem by Laurie Twinam. The vocal line, for any solo voice or for unison voices, retains the folk tune contour throughout, within the range of low D to high D. Around this, the piano accompaniment weaves a set of characterful variations, as a commentary on each differing verse, which is always linked by a 2-bar 'turnaround'. The work explores aspects of both major and minor tonality, as well as modality (with the characteristic flattened seventh), thus working within and around the given folk idiom. This piece is appropriate for virtually any standard and size of unison choir, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs, as well as for just solo voice. The accompaniment can be on piano, or for organ if slightly adapted by the player.

Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998831). This is a lively, singable and catchy setting of the traditional words used at Choral Evensong. The piece features much syncopation in the jazz-like Magnificat, with its repetitive, minimalist accompaniment figures. Meanwhile, the hypnotic Nunc Dimittis repeats its key phrase several times, with increasing dynamics. Both movements end in the customary manner with the Gloria, which is based on the Magnificat's opening. The text is in English, adapted from Luke 1: 46-55 and Luke 2: 29-32.

Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998815). This is an original setting of the well-known Advent text, for use in worship or concerts at Christmas.

The piece is appropriate for virtually any standard and size of unison choir, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs, as well as for just solo voice. The accompaniment is quite pianistic but can be played/adapted on the organ. Versions are provided in the keys of both G and F (i.e. transposed down a tone).

Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998813). This is an original setting of a text commonly associated with a movement from Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, for use in worship or concerts at Christmas. It is an accessible 4-verse carol which uses modality and a lilting compound metre to convey rocking movement, within a folk style. Interest is provided by a contrasting duple feel on the last line, and a harmonic twist (picardy third) at the end of the verse (appropriately on the word 'surprise'). The piece is appropriate for virtually any standard and size of unison choir, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs, as well as for just solo voice. The accompaniment is quite pianistic but can be played/adapted on the organ. Versions for SATB choir, SA choir, and for solo voice, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.

Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998896). This is a meditative and reverential solo voice (or unison voices) setting of the 'Hail Mary' prayer in Latin, with piano (or organ) accompaniment. The piece unusually sets the familiar text within an aching minor key, in a slow tempo, and with generally quiet dynamics. A highly memorable, singable and repetitive main theme is supported by rippling arpeggios over a descending bass line. Within the rocking 6/8 time signature, an often modal accompaniment also features chains of gently warm seventh chords. The piece is appropriate for most standards of solo soprano or tenor. This Ave Maria, by the same composer, is also available from Sheet Music Plus in versions for SATB choir, and for SA choir.
