elegy (2020)
Workshopped by BBC Singers and Paul Spicer at Maida Vale, London 5 March 2020
​

elegy was written for eight part choir and is a setting of the Lux aeterna text from the Requiem Mass. Inspired by a transcription of an iceberg in Antartica breaking apart, elegy reimagines the tension and constant pressure the iceberg faces as it slowly changes shape. As such parts are often clashing, harmonically and rhythmically, with the harmonic tension never truly resolving.
