for SSAATTBB unaccompanied A reflection on the plainchant antiphon 'Pulchra es et decora', this hauntingly beautiful piece was commissioned by ORA100 for Suzi Digby and ORA Singers. The original antiphon has been transcribed and included at the beginning, and may be used as an introduction. Porter's use of rich harmonies and rippling melismatic vocal lines make this an impassioned setting of a Marian text.

for SATB unaccompanied Two stanzas of emotive verse by Christina Rossetti are set to music of touching directness in this a cappella offering, whose graceful melodies are often adorned by caressing rhythmic patterns. Offprinted from Carols for Choirs 6.
