Come to me (2019) was written for The Aeolians of Oakwood University, Alabama, conducted by Jason Max Ferdinand. The text is by one of the composer's favourite poets, Christina Rossetti. Originally entitled Echo, this poignant poem concerns a person who has lost their beloved long ago and only through dreams is able to have an echo of what once was but never will be again. In his setting, the composer seeks to empathize with and to describe the feelings of the grieving protagonist.
"Trinity are on fine form: youthful, but firmly muscled and fearless, with Layton encouraging an open, fuller sound than the Oxbridge standard. They make their case for Antognini as a sugary part of the Anglican choral diet." - Gramophone
