Score
Programme note
Salve Regina is a simple and sustained setting of the well-known Marian Antiphon. Its carries on a current desire to write shorter, easier motets that are more accessible to a wider range of choirs, though still retaining the thumbprints of my mature style. The motet is in a clear ABA form, with simple textures and flowing melodies.
