In 1880 she turned her attention towards writing large-scale cantatas, all published by Novello and Co. These included "Ode to the North-East Wind" for chorus and orchestra, "Ode to The Passions" (1882), her longest work, performed at the Hereford Festival in that year, and two cantatas for male voices in the last two years of her life. In her obituary, her husband claims that she was working on a setting of the poem "The Valley of Remorse" by Louisa Sarah Bevington for chorus, soloists and orchestra, however, there is no manuscript to support this claim. Of her forty songs, her most popular work was the vocal duet "O that we two were maying".
