Recent American commissions include two short works: This is the key and Song to the moon. Again, these pieces show a typically attractive, folk-like melodicism, while their unison textures can be optionally expanded to two parts to cater for choirs of different sizes and abilities.

Mark Bellis, Cathedral Music, November 2019

for unison voices, with optional second part, and piano This is the key is a dramatic, narrative piece, perfect for children's and youth choirs. It can be sung in unison throughout, or the score contains options for two parts, sometimes singing alternating phrases and at other times singing together in two-part harmony. Sections in different tempos and keys create a variety of moods, and the continuous piano part features running quavers, a rhythmic bass line, and shimmering spread chords.
