A Christmas Carol |
An arrangement for SATB choir, a-cappella, of a carol setting for solo voice and piano by Charles Ives. I have seen attribution of the text and melody both to Mr. Ives and as “traditional.” This arrangement is in a slow, flowing, reflexive, 6/8 meter in the manner of a pastoral. The melody is in the soprano for verse one and in the tenor for verse two. There is some minor division principally in the soprano and base parts. (2:53)

To Make Things New That Never Were (Version 1)
for SATB choir, a-cappella |
This is an original composition on a text by Walter Brueggemann from Awed to Heaven, Rooted to Earth Prayers of Walter Brueggemann. The text was inspired by a reading of I Samuel chapter 16, verses 1-13, intended for use at Pentecost. The musical setting makes extensive use of the chant Veni creator spiritum. (6:14)

To Make Things New That Never Were (Version 2)

This is an original composition on a text by Walter Brueggemann from Awed to Heaven, Rooted to Earth Prayers of Walter Brueggemann. The text was inspired by a reading of I Samuel chapter 16, verses 1-13, intended for use at Pentecost. The musical setting makes extensive use of the chant Veni creator spiritum. In this version the organ takes the major harmonic role with various voices of the choir alternating phrases of the chant melody in original, inverted, retrograde and mirrored inversion forms.

The Truth from Above |
This is a setting of a traditional English Carol for Christmas or Advent for medium solo voice with accompaniment by either keyboard (Harpsichord would be preferred) acoustic guitar or harp. The melody flows freely in the manner of a troubadour telling a story. The accompaniment is basically chordal with some minor polyphony during the interior verses. (2:57)
