Commissioned by the music foundation of Sydney's Christ Church St Laurence for their Dedication Festival in 2020, this clever unison setting utilises fragments of chant from the Alleluia to be sung on the Feast of St Laurence, as its melodic basis. Driving rhythms contrast effectively with more serene sections, all the while supported by an imaginative organ accompaniment. Aside from plainchant, the work also displays influences of minimalism, Balinese gamelan and Guillaume Dufay.
