Nativity of the Isles (2017) is dedicated to the memory of Alan and Ghalib Kurdi, and the 28 million children displaced by violence in the world today. Using a mixture of texts inspired by ancient prayers and music evoking Gaelic and Syrian folk melodies, the choral cycle reflects upon past and current refugee crises through the story of the Mother and Child whose displacement is commemorated in the Nativity and Pieta.
