The 6-minute SATB a cappella motet Ave Virgo Sanctissima ( Hail, Holy Virgin) was written in 2011, a commission from St Thomas the Apostle Catholic church, Los Angeles. It sets words by Prudentius (b. 348 AD), St. Ambrose (c. 337-397) and an anonymous writer. French in its influence, it has a rich palette of colour and harmony which sets a devotional tone in praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A soprano soloist floats effortlessly above the texture at key points, reminding us of the singularity of Marys situation.
