A St. Patrick Silhouette (2020) was commissioned by Artis Wodehouse and the Friends of the Erben Organ, Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, New York, New York. The music is based on sections of the plainchants appointed for the Feast of St. Patrick, Bishop and Confessor. The moods of the piece are drawn loosely (and non-programmatically) from remembered stories of his life.
