Fear Thou Not was commissioned by the Swedish women's vocal ensemble Les Jolies (gold medalists in 2002 Choir Olympics). The piece depicts how man can change from doubting to believing, led by the Father's voice which both comforts and admonishes.
Maria (IV): The Royal Swedish Court commissioned this piece for the celebration of the Mass on Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary (March 17, 2013). The music depicts Mary's sorrow as the mother of a child that belongs not to her, but to all mankind.
The Choirmaster's Burial: This piece uses word painting to re-tell Thomas Hardy's classic poem about an old tenor and the death of his choirmaster. The men and women are divided into two choirs; the men represent the old tenor telling the story and the women represent an angelic chorus singing the antiphon "In Paradisium" from the Requiem Mass.
