Commissions

Having a new piece of music specially written for your choir or community can be a powerful and memorable way of marking occasions such as a festive liturgical celebration or an anniversary, and can also make a thoughtful farewell or wedding gift. Liturgical composers have been called the "unseen collaborators" in worship, and commissioning a work can provide a valuable opportunity to work closely alongside the composer. This ensures that the final product is ideally suited to your situation - written especially for the performing forces at your disposal, number and type of voices, instruments etc. Recent commissions include a blessing for a wedding, and an instrumental work celebrating 150 years of the Marist Order in Samoa.

Many of the pieces in our catalogue started off as commissions. Here are just some examples:
​
Come and Bless the Lord (for the Canticle of St Mary, Lucan)
Let Us Work with God (for St Peter's Church, Phibsboro)
Hymn to Saint Vincent (for Vincentian communities worldwide)
Prayer of the Newly-Married Couple (for Aideen O'Sullivan and PJ Brady)
That You May Have Life (for Odran Doyle)
Psalm 90: Fill Us with Your Love (for Orla Cronin & Brendan O'Keeffe)
Psalm 118: Easter Gospel Acclamation (for Wrexham Diocese)
Psalm 138: In the Presence of Your Holy Angels (for St Colmcille's Choir, Belfast)

If you are interested in commissioning a piece, feel free to make contact! The cost and timescale involved vary depending on the size of the project.
