The Oxford Times published on December 4, 2008 this announcement (for the full text follow this link):

 

" ... Another special inclusion is the world premiere of Ave Maria by Slovenian composer Ambroz Copi, whose works also feature regularly in Commotio's concerts, and who has dedicated this piece to the choir.

"This new work turned up, dedicated to the choir and myself, unprompted, and already published by Astrum," Matthew said. "From what Ambroz has told me, the work is very personal to him, so this makes the dedication even more of an honour."
