His music is noted for its rhythmic vitality, freshness, and straightforward harmonies. The emotions embodied in his music range from the exuberant glory of the anthem 'The Lord Is Risen Indeed' and the profound grief of the anthem 'David's Lamentation' to the buoyant humour of the secular song 'Modern Music' and the austerity of the canon 'When Jesus Wept.'
