Preghiera Davanti Al Crocifisso by James Webb
We're now publishing James Webb's setting of St Francis of Assisi's Preghiera Davanti Al Crocifisso, Prayer Before A Crucifix. It's a short and straight-forward setting for a choir singing mostly in unison. It was written for the choir of Wimbledon Girls School, and performed by them at the lower basillica in Assisi in 2011.

Drop, Drop Slow Tears Orlando Gibbons arr. James Webb
James Webb has arranged Gibbons' popular hymn for SSA, and skilfully added a short piano introduction which blends a very attractive dissonant flavour with Gibbons' familiar consonant style. The three-verse setting is simple for all three voices, and in total lasts just 90 seconds. Ideal for choirs of more modest means.

Dormi Jesu Victoria Larley
This simple but gorgeous carol for unaccompanied SATB presents a strikingly human picture of the Nativity. The text has
Mary beseeching Jesus to sleep, or she'll weep. One can imagine the depth of her weariness.
Dormi Jesu was written for Chantry Quire of Chichester, for a performance in Chichester Cathedral in December 2010.
