This project involves the creation of several new choral works, all of which feature intricate a cappella (or unaccompanied) “polychoral” techniques. These techniques include multi-part, multi-divisi, solo, and unusual spatial effects (or cori spezzati – literally “split” or “separated choirs” – as the technique was referred to in the Renaissance and early Baroque periods). By such means, an extra dimension is added both to recordings and to live performances (where the aural “spatial” interest creates a quasi-theatrical effect).

This project is part-funded by an Australian Government / Australia Council for the Arts “Individual International Arts Project Award”, and takes place across three countries: the UK, the US, and Australia.

A CD recording of the works will be issued in 2017 by PARMA Recordings (US), and at least three new, large-scale choral scores will be published. The CD will also include the Royal Philharmonic Society / BBC Radio 3 "ENCORE Choral" award-winning work, "Kyrie" (for 21 voices).
