Blest are the pure in heart: anthem for unison voices, with optional solo, and organ. Dedicated
to the Choir of St Lawrence’s Church, Hatfield. Composed December 26, 2001.
Mallard Music. “The popular Walford
Davies setting of the text is very easy for four-part choirs, but now here is
an easier setting, since the tune is in unison throughout with optional
indications for each verse as Solo, Women, Men and Full. The simple and
memorable melody is repeated for all verses, as is the organ accompaniment. The
only variation is the organ link between verses three and four – which, in a
nice touch, subsequently becomes the music for a final three-bar Amen. This is
a useful piece for small numbers of singers who do not want to divide into
separate parts.” Church Music Quarterly

·

·
Adam lay ybounden: carol setting for
unison voices/S.A.T.B. and organ. Dedicated to the Choir of Saint Lawrence’s
Church, Hatfield. October 10 2005. Banks Music Publications. “Hoyle’s setting of
Adam lay ybounden is ideal for youth choirs or
parish choirs who do not have the luxury of all four voice parts. The melody
has a modal feel, perfect for the fifteenth-century text, and is written for
unison voices, contrast being achieved through the alternation between men’s
and women’s voices. The melodic range is limited, never moving too high, so
beginner singers or young voices would cope well with it. Simple and effective,
this arrangement should be a winner.” Church Music Quarterly
·
The Shepherds’ Cradle Song: carol setting for
S.A.T.B. with piano or organ accompaniment. (An arrangement of an unpublished

memory of John Hubert Piper. Composed January 21 2006. Banks Music
Publications. “This is a good tune and a simple setting of a German lullaby in ¾ time which would be suitable for many parish choirs.” Cathedral
Music
