commissioned to compose O Emmanuel for the Choir of Merton College, Oxford (2012).

lyrics
O Emmanuel,
Rex et legifer noster,
Exspectatio Gentium
Et Salvator earum:
Veni ad salvandum nos,
Domine Deus noster.
O Emmanuel [God with us].
Our king and lawgiver,
The expected of the nations
And their Saviour:
Come to save us,
O Lord our God.

And their Saviour:
Come to save us,
O Lord our God.
