for SATB and organ with opt. strings This is a hymn-anthem setting of a text by OUP poet, Thomas Troeger. Highly participatory in design, this four-verse setting invites the congregation to join with the SATB choir and organ on verses 1, 2, and 4. Verse 1 is sung in unison, verse 2 is men only, verse 3 is a capella, and verse 4 finishes with a rousing decant-and-toccata-style organ accompaniment. The text challenges the listener not to use the name of God to sanction hate and fear, but rather to move towards acceptance of all cultures. An alternate text for the final verse makes it perfect for inter-faith services.

for SATB and piano or organ The text is by Timothy Dudley-Smith and is based on a text of St Augustine. The gentle undulating rhythm created by the 6/4 time signature and the subtle harmonic shifts add interest and illuminate the meaning. A central section can be sung by soloists or by small sections of the choir.

for SSAATTBB unaccompanied This arrangement brings out all the genre's characteristic driving rhythms, strongly marked syncopations, and added-beat patterns, with resonant harmonic divisi in all parts. It builds in a pounding crescendo to a climactic glissando blast on the train whistle. It is a genuine foot-stomper.

for SATB and piano Often set as a lament, Nobody Knows here takes on a quality of genuine resignation and loving perseverance. The melody is supported at first by a quiet boogie-woogie vamp leading to a warm 'Glory, hallelujah' at the end of each stanza. The choral writing is essentially chordal, and straightforward, creating a powerful effect through simple means.
