Give Us The Wings Of Faith (2003)

Commissioned by the BBC in 2003, 'Give Us The Wings Of Faith' is a deeply moving choral work that captivates both singers and audiences alike. Based on the solemn and uplifting verses of Isaac Watts, this composition for mixed choir (SATB) and organ seamlessly combines grandeur with heartfelt emotional depth. The evocative interplay between the expressive choral parts and the rich organ accompaniment brings the spiritual message of the text to life, soaring to radiant harmonic climaxes. Published by Chester Music, this choral score is an exceptional addition to ambitious church services, choral concerts, and festive occasions—a truly inspiring gem of modern sacred music.
