The Heavens Declare the Glory of God : From Music of the Spheres

This is the first movement (Prologue) of a five-movement work featuring texts by Johannes Kepler, John Donne, and the Psalms. Dedicated to Swiss astrophysicist Arnold Benz, a relative of the composer, the work is based on melodic ideas written to be overlaid with images of various constellations. "The Heavens Declare" is a setting of Psalm 19: 1-4, in which tenor soli and SATB choir alternately declaim the text in a call-and-response structure.

Mass of the Resurrection

The Mass of the Resurrection is based upon three principal themes, namely the Solemn Tone of the Gregorian Te Deum laudamus, the Great Alleluia, and the splendid Easter Sequence Victimæ Paschali laudes. These three Easter themes permeate the Mass thus joining us with those of past centuries who have sung these same melodies to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who has trampled down death and won for us the life eternal. Resurrexit Christi! Alleluia! -Robert W. Lehman Duration: 7:00

The Wind in the Willows

While studying at the American Academy in Rome from 1922 to 1925 on the first Damrosch Fellowship, Randall Thompson, fascinated with Kenneth Grahame’s delightful 1908 children’s story The Wind in the Willows, wrote two works based on chapters from it. One is a three-movement string quartet written under the influence of composers including Gian Francesco Malipiero and Alfredo Casella and the most recent European music he heard in Rome and at International Festivals he attended. Along with his five choral Odes of Horace, written at approximately the same time, this work provides us a significant glimpse of Thompson as a composer of chamber music during his formative creative years. Includes score and parts. Duration: 14:00

Emily! : from New England Musical Settings of the Poems of Emily Dickinson

The poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is especially appealing due to the wide range of topics, diversity of mood and peculiar imagination of the poet. The writings are reflective, passionate, witty, sensuous, observant, and ridiculously humorous. Her heart soars. Her mind pokes fun! Emily was truly a New Englander. Her poems are understated and compact. Her love of Nature focuses on small things- birds, bees, meadows and a pond.In creating the musical settings, the composer (herself a New Englander) endeavored to capture the spirit of the poetry, and of the poet, with songs diverse in style, and concise in form. Everything from romance to frogs is explored,briefly.Great delight is taken in creating musical translations of the colorful imagery: the letters floating off on the breeze ("My Letter to the World"): the shimmering moonlight ("The Moon and the Sea"): a frog croaking in a bog ("The Frog in the Bog"): hopeful birds hopping about ("Hope" with Feathers"): the boat of passion riding the waves and then settling into its mooring ("Passion"): the ship's cannon firing in celebration ("Joy"): and the tiniest, lightest gifts of Nature ("All I Have to Bring"). These are the poet's Letters to the World. She lived as a recluse, yet her words took flight-traveling the universe as messengers of the soul. Duration: 14:00

Collected Wedding Songs: My Love Walks in Velvet

Collected Wedding Songs: My Love Walks in Velvet

The Morning Train: 3. Maid of Constant Sorrow

A familiar American folk song is "A Man of Constant Sorrow." Adaptations exist for a maid of constant sorrow as well. This is a very simple melody, placed in the key of C major. The message is a mournful one. The soul is troubled, and not at rest. "All through this world, I'm bound to ramble...perhaps I'll take the very next train." Then, later, "perhaps I'll die upon this train." Some comfort is taken with the lines "I know we'll meet on God's Golden Shore." But the life on this earth is one of constant sorrow. Duration: 2:30.

Ancient Airs and Dances : Suite No. 1

A transcription of the first suite to one of Respighi’s most famous and much-beloved works. The orchestral suite itself is a transcription of sixteenth-century lute works, of which Respighi also transcribed for piano 2- and 4-hands. The transcriber of this edition used the orchestral setting in order to match the orchestral instruments to their corresponding organ stops with as much accuracy as possible. The transciption is idiomatic and a delight to play. The first three movements are accessible while the fourth will require more practice time. The movements could be performed alone or with one another and would give an audience a unique and pleasant concert experience.Duration: 15:00

The Beautiful Land of Nod

The iconic poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is set here in a lilting and gentle composition that may be done by an ensemble or by a full choir. Peaceful, serene, and comforting. Commissioned by The Crossing and Donald Nally.

The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd

The text is Sir Walter Raleigh's response to The Passionate Shepherd by Christopher Marlowe. The two poems are worlds apart in philosophical viewpoints. The Passionate Shepherd is all about promises, promises, and more promises of constant daily joys in the sharing of love, almost to the point of frenzy. In contrast, The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd is serene and philosophically realistic, yet it seems to yearn for the idealism of the shepherd’s promises. The music is written in both a lighthearted and frenzied manner so as to deliver on the moods of the text. Duration: 3:12 Flute part included.

Pity the Beautiful

The poem to which this piece of music is set turns the concept of beauty on its head for about 4/5 of it. The remainder if the poem veers off in an entirely unexpected direction of gods and stars. The music reacts to the poem by way of ornamented melodies, optional improvisation heartily recommended by the composer, and homoponic passages. "The harmonic structures of the piece gets knottier as the text progresses to the penultimate statement." - Robert Schuneman

Dmitry Stepanovych Bortniansky: The Glory Of Our God (Kol' Slaven) (Arr. Antolini) (SATB)

Hommage à Langlais: Song of Peace in a Time of War

This engaging work by Mary Beth Bennett was commissioned by the Northern Virginia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to celebrate its 50th anniversary. A soft misterioso section, reminiscent of Jean Langlais' "Song of Peace," begins the work, followed by a section of loud musical cries of anguish. An introspective central section of free melody in a Middle-Eastern mode ensues, and the work concludes with the hymn tune VICTORY ("The Strife is O'er") superimposed over it. Duration: 5:00

Mindful of You

Commissioned by a choral society in memory of their beloved accompanist, this is an SATB divisi unaccompanied setting of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
