Peat Brown Hours

Joint Winner of the National Youth Choir of Australia 2020 Ralph Morton Memorial Composition Competition 

The gossip of grasses, the winnowing winds, the drip and the squelch of wet leavings.... and you, listening to all that muted music, stilled in the hold of roots. 

Slow aleatoric passages and soundscapes contrast with joyful dance-like melodies, bringing to life Maria Wallace's wonderful poem "The Meenybradden Bog Woman"

Unaccompanied.

Recording by National Youth Choir of Australia (NYCA)

​I am a fish

I am a fish of the land and the sea and the sand and the sun up above and the fire below. 

Whispering, shouting and layered ostinatos make for a fast and sometimes raucous piece with a philosophical question at heart.

Hold in the Bucket
​(A Marital Dispute)

Honestly, Liza, I don't know what to say. You didn't marry me for my practical skills, but you'd always said you'd love me anyway.

An expansion of a beloved folk song into a comedic exploration of domestic division of labour, learnt incompetence, and marital quibbles.

Mass for Tiny Voices

Mass for Tiny Voices elevates the words, voices, and wisdom of children in a playful take on the traditional Latin mass. Quotes from anonymous children, sourced from the popular “Live from Snack Time” Twitter feed, are paired in contrasting and complementary ways with the five movements of the traditional mass text.

From the repentance of the Kyrie (Lord have mercy/ “I have ten friends by I hate one of them”) to the message of peace in the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God/ “Hold my hand. Much better”), Mass for Tiny Voices highlights the elements of human emotional experience that transcend time, age, and creed
​
Children's choir (2-part) and SATB choir
​With piano accompaniment by Tim Mallis.
~17 minutes. Single movements available upon request.
