| Summary: | The portfolio contains a series of works which explore in different ways the intersection of music and spirituality. The research which underpins this exploration firstly identified points of convergence and then sought ways of reflecting these into the "nuts and bolts" of the musical language itself - its harmony, form, temporality, relation to tradition and use of subject matter. Part I - Orientations, discusses the research generally, drawing on musical examples from the body of the portfolio to illustrate the main points as appropriate. Part II - Commentaries, provides a detailed analysis of each of the works in the ,order of their completion thus highlighting the evolution of ideas and their embodiment. Part III concludes the commentary with a frank evaluation of the project overall.
