Ave Regina cælorum was commissioned in 2016 for Hereford Chamber Choir and two wonderful friends, Simon and Kate Harper. It was winner of the ‘Passiontide at Merton Composition Competition’ in 2017, and is a reflective setting of the Marian Antiphon. The solo chant melody is underpinned by a seamless choral texture, with words and syllables eliding into each other. The middle section (‘Gaude Virgo’) provides more movement leading to the climactic point of the piece at ‘gloriosa’. Overall, a feeling of space and reflection prevails.
