Liturgical Music. Here you’ll find some of my liturgical music—the Tyndale Service, Missa Nkosi Sikelela, the Saint Patrick Service, and the Edith Cavell Preces and Responses. Most of it’s free, if you want to sing it in your own church.

Mitchell, Cavell Mass

Cavell Mass. This is my neo-Viennese mass, which was commissioned for the Edith Cavell celebrations in Brussels in 2015. It is scored for SATB soli, SATB chorus, strings, organ, trumpets, and timpani.

Music scores - Aleppo Psalms

Ancient Music of the Psalms. These are some of my transcriptions of the ancient music of the Psalms, based on the Masoretic cantillation. You’ll get information on the archaeomusicology behind these transcriptions on the Scholarly Articles page.

Mitchell Christmas Cantata

Christmas Cantata. This is my Christmas magnum opus—100 minutes long. Why not try it in your church? There are recorded backing tracks, if you want them. Or you can do it with a small band. Or with orchestra. Click to go to my Christmas Cantata page. Or, for the vocal score, go straight to the Amazon Christmas Cantata page.

Prince Albert Te Deum

The Prince Albert Te Deum. This is my transcription and recording of the Te Deum, by Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819-1861), a nineteenth-century Anglican choral mini-masterpiece which deserves to be better known, sung by our singers in Holy Trinity Brussels. Prince Albert was, as you may know, the husband of Queen Victoria. Less well-known, though, is that he was also a fine Christian man and a generally multi-talented bloke, in music and other fields.
