Work Overview
Ubi Caritas, commissioned by Graeme Morton and the
Brisbane Chamber Choir, was written with both liturgical and
concert performances in mind, and for this reason I sought a text
that could work both in a specific church-based context and also
strive for more universal themes. I essentially view it as an
exhortation for unity through shared love and respect.
Although there are small references to a plainchant melody (more
famously used by Maurice Duruflé in his own Ubi Caritas)
the musical style is largely homophonic, although with
considerable interplay between voices. Dance-like verses and more
contemplative sections are punctuated by a refrain which
gradually begins to dissolve into free echo sections as the piece
progresses.
