O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly : from Cantata 40

All Flesh Is Grass from Suite Remembrance

A set of four contrasting “memorial dances” for unaccompanied mixed chorus, Suite Remembrance was commissioned by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus. Movements range from energetic to lyrical and moving, and each takes after a dance form. This movement is the second of the set. The text, from Isaiah 40, is set to a courtly gavotte in a minor modality.

Have You Not Heard?

The composer's initial use of the "Scottish snap" rhythm becomes a recurring motif throughout the piece. Strong, almost fanfare-like declamations of the Isaiah 40 text alternate with imitative sections and soaring text painting, giving a tremendous dynamic and emotional variety to this setting. The only divisi is in the soprano and occurs fairly frequently. Duration: 3:30

In the Name of Music

Commissioned by the Radcliffe Choral Society and the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, this piece was created to celebrate the awakening and life-transforming power of music, as a force that enlivens and enlightens us.

Extensive instructions are provided for the ethereal aleatoric section, addressing stage placement, dynamics, use of a solo group, and how the piece should end.

Veni Creator Spiritus

A setting of a composite text by the composer which combines passages from a variety of sources: the Requiem service (Dies irae, Libera me), the Mass (Agnus Dei qui tollis, Agnus Dei dona nobis pacem), and from a hymn attributed to the Benedictine theologian Maurus (776-856) "Veni Creator Spiritus." The images of destruction that begin the work are gradually transformed through an invocation of the energies of creation, as the music of the first half (in minor mode) dissolves into the bright music of the conclusion (in major mode).
