This work was commissioned by The Linen Hall Library in Belfast to mark its 225th year in existence.

Exsultet

For this choral commission, I was keen to explore the use of macaronic verse, and choose Irish and Latin. The sounds that come off the two languages are very different and yet feel natural and comfortable side by side.

Agnus Dei

This began life as a short section of incidental music for a BBC tv series that I later then developed into a stand-alone choral piece for a Belfast school choir.

These immortal words, meaning literally ‘the tears of things’ are borrowed from Virgil’s Aeneid, where he uses them to underpin the futility of war.
