- Ave Maris Stella
Contemporary Choral Series (Boosey and Hawkes)
Setting of the traditional vesper hymn Hail, O Star of the ocean. The texture is homophonic and sustained, with much use of pedal points in the chord progressions, and the closing amens bring a melodic flowering in the sopranos. A welcome addition to the repertoire for choirs of all abilities from the pen of this leading choral composer.
