- PublicationThe AqueductA chamber opera in three acts, The Aqueduct weaves together the enthralling sounds of Middle Eastern musical traditions, western art music and jazz to underscore the human side of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Talia is a middle-class Jew from Melbourne who has grown up with an idealistic view of Israel as her true home; 'the land of milk and honey'. Amal, a Palestinian Muslim is a single mother who lives with her young children in a squalid settlement just outside Israeli borders. The two women meet at the Aqueduct, a tourist attraction built under the 'old city' of Jerusalem during Roman times. They connect instantly, but can they rise above personal tragedy, cultural differences and bigotry?
- PublicationAs Like the Moon: for Flute, Violin, Vibraphone and PianoComposition in four movements. 'As Like the Moon' is the title of an Egyptian folk song. Like most such songs, it consists of an extremely short melody and a very large number of verses which are sung successively, in this case accompanying a bridal procession. The bride is imagined to be like the moon rising. Just as the title of the song is unfinished, letting us try to imagine the rest, so the very simple melody can develop different forms and colours. Music Publisher's number: KP3022. KP3022a (flute part), KP3022b (violin part), KP3022c (vibraphone part).
- PublicationAyoub wa Naasa (Job and Naasa): Suite for Clarinet in Bb, French Horn, Violin, Piano and PercussionMusical Suite for clarinet in B flat, French horn, violin, piano and percussion. Suite taken from the ballet 'Ayoub wa Naasa: Gentle Waves of the Sea'. There is an Egyptian folksong that tells the story of Job and his wife Naasa. This is very similar to the story as it occurs in religious texts but is actually an independent folk story. This folk song is repeated in various forms throughout the ballet as a linking theme, and it also appears in the suite. Each movement of the suite depicts a different scene in the story. Includes parts for clarinet in B♭, horn in F, violin, percussion. In this score the clarinet and French horn parts are in C. However in the parts they are transcribed in B flat and F respectively. Music Publisher's number: KP 0327, KP 0327a, KP 0327b, KP 0327c, KP 0327d.
- PublicationBilly's SwanBilly’s Swan is an electroacoustic work which assesses the fantastic escapism that dance can offer the young queer male identity. The audio adopts routine melodic fragments from Tchaikovsky’s ballet score, Swan Lake, and sets these against expressive digital sounds. The fantastic element is symbolised by a sprawling climax of bells chimes (sounds with queer potential) that develop as the piece progresses and the fragments of ballet score fade out. The piece uses musical traditions of arrangement and transcription coupled with the social and political meanings of different sound worlds to consider queer identities.

- PublicationChop Chef(2021-04-22)
; Koh, Julie'Chop Chef' is a two act 80-minute live opera that explores themes of capitalism, consumption and Australian identity. This work contributes significantly to the role, presence, and validity of contemporary opera. Chop Chef responds to and parodies traditional operatic tropes. These include orientalism, the misogynistic representation of women, and the dramatic function of death. The show purposefully clashes themes of high and low culture in both its musical and lyrical content presenting contemporary language through operatic formalism. The underlying character narratives becomes a metaphor for the quest for success in a capitalist environment as each contestant is forced to reckon with the limits of their own identity and pursuits in a public setting.
