Chamber opera in a prologue and one act. A ghost story telling of the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers in the Hebrides. This is a mystery story in the form of a chamber opera. The prologue is set as a courtof enquiry into the unexplained disappearance of the three keepers from a lighthouse. Questions are posed by a solo horn which may sound from among the audience and three officers give answer. Gradually they move from straighttestimony into fantastical imaginings of evil during a 'flashback' to the lighthouse; but then we snap back to the courtroom. In the main act the three singers become the vanished keepers. They have been together for months long enough to be fully aware of each other's weaknesses; petty bickerings suggest a relationship which is stable but liable to become highly unstable at any moment. They sing songs to reduce the tension Blazes beginning with arough ballad of street violence accompanied by violin and banjo. Sandy's song with cello and out-of-tune upright piano is a thinly disguised description of sexual bliss and Arthur's with brass and clarinet is a tub-thumpinghymn. But the songs serve only to resurrect in their minds ghosts from the past and as the fog descends each of the keepers becomes convinced that he is being claimed by the Beast. They prepare to meet its dazzling eyes whichbecome the lights of the relief vessel and the three men reappear as officers met at the lighthouse only by an infestation of rats. They leave and at the end the last hours of Blazes Sandy and Arthur begin to play overagain. Libretto only. Duration c. 1h 25mins.

These three pieces for cello and piano are meditations - personal secular and musical - on images from religious poetry. The title of No. 1 Angels bending near the earth comes from a carol which beginsIt came upon the midnight clear' by the Massachusetts pastor and poet Edmund Sears. The full reference is to angels bending near the earth/to touch their harps of gold and this is the inspiration forthe music with piano arpeggios swooping down over the rich central band of sound produced by the cello. No. 2's title In death's dark vale is a brief paraphrase (from a Scottish hymnal) of Psalm 23; thefull quotation is yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil. The image here is of human life lived against the prospect of impending death. The cello plays a hasty self-absorbed continuo whilst around it piano motifs and chords of different height and depth create an evolving backdrop. No. 3 O sapientia is the only movement which quotes a musical original; Hildegard ofBingen's hymn O virtus sapientiae -O strength of wisdom. This is a calm elegaic set of variations for the cello on Hildegard's melody accompanied by mostly bright optimistic refl ections from thepiano. Commissioned by cellist Jonathan Miller of Boston MA. First performance on 23 September 2016 at Hamilton Hall Salem MA by Jonathan Miller (cello) and Randall Hodgkinson (piano)

The Vocal Score for Judith Weir 's Truly I Tell You a setting of three different Biblical passages from Psalms and Mark's gospel. This work was first performed by the Choir of Westminster Abbey at the Commonwealth Day Observance on the 9th of March 2015. It is arranged for SSATB Chorus and Organ. Truly I Tell You is a setting of Psalms 8: 4-10 and 34: 1-4 and Mark 10: 15. The thread that marries these three texts together is the comparison between man and the name of God the literal exposition of the word of God (working beautifully within the context of such a brilliantly-composed piece of music) and the hopeful entering of God's kingdom in general. In theDecember 2015 edition of RSCM Church Music Quarterly Magazine the reviewer states that this piece is highly recommended and is a useful church anthem that is not too difficult. Judith Weir is a British composer whose music often draws influence from her many extra-musical interests such as medieval history and Scottish traditional music. In 2005 Weir received a CBE for her services to music and in 2014 she was appointed the Master of the Queen's Music becoming the first female holder of a post which dates back to 1626.
