This work is suitable for SATB unaccompanied. This set of Preces and Responses, including the Lord's Prayer, will be enjoyed by all seeking new material for the liturgy. The largely syllabic four-part setting harks back to the music of the great Tudor masters, while the expressive harmony - including a magical key change for the Lord's Prayer and some mellifluous Amens - are pure Jackson.

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied First performed by the Choir of St Luke's Episcopal Church, Evanston, Illinois, in 2016, this powerful motet sets a reflective text by Augustine of Hippo. Connoisseurs of Jackson's music will recognise the hallmarks of his highly accessible style: inventive harmony that is largely diatonic but never plain, and textures that encompass the blazingly sonorous and the expressively intimate.

This work is intended for SATB unaccompanied. This beautiful and spacious "Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis" setting of the Canticle of Mary is pure Jackson. Alternating stripped back, plainchant-style sections with homorhythmic passages for full choir, this music possesses an understated emotional intensity. The glorious key changes at the end of both the "Magnificat and the Nunc Dimittis" are spine-tingling. Appropriate for both Evensong and concert performance, this piece is well within the reach of most choirs.

for SATB (with divisions) and soprano saxophone Setting the original Latin text of the hymn better known as 'Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding', Jackson creates an Advent piece of beautiful stillness. The largely homophonic choral parts, with a soloist supplying a gentle contrapuntal line, are contrasted with light and graceful interjections from the saxophone. The result is a quietly moving piece ideally suited for a reflective moment during an Advent service.
