Soprano, Double Chamber Chorus, Symphony
Magnificat
is a radiant, large‑scale meditation on praise, humility, and spiritual illumination. Scored for soprano soloist, double chamber choir, and symphony orchestra, the work transforms the ancient text of Luke 1:46–55 into a sweeping, cinematic sound world where individual devotion and collective exaltation coexist.

Soprano, Tenor, Double Chamber Chorus, Electronics, Symphony
Vocalise
is the sixth movement of Song of Thirteen Moons, a large-scale elegiac cycle that has occupied Lopez's creative imagination since the loss of his beloved wife Irene, companion of nearly sixty years. The work is — in the deepest sense — a requiem of the heart: music through which grief is transformed . . .

Soprano, Double Chamber Chorus, Symphony
Birds From Before Light – A Song In Praise Of Halcyon Days
is a contemporary cantata setting of three original poems exploring metaphysical stillness, dawn, and the halcyon myth. It blends choral writing, chamber-orchestral color, and poetic narrative into a unified sacred-secular hybrid form.
