The Body Electric draws its inspiration from great American poet, Walt Whitman's work I Sing the Body Electric. Two years earlier, while writing a setting of Whitman's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry for baritone and chamber orchestra, I became enamored with many of the poems from his collection, The Leaves of Grass. I had not revisited Whitman's poetry since high school and that distance provided a fresh look at Whitman's poetry. In the spring of 2009, I came back to this collection and decided to write another work inspired by Whitman's poetry, this time for chamber orchestra alone. Writing a work that attempted to capture the mood of this epic poem seemed impossible. Because of the inherent abstract nature of text-less music, writing a work that was a musical blow-by-blow of the poem seemed equally impossible. For me, the solution was to take three fragments of the poem and focus on conveying their particular moods. In the score, I have included the following lines at the beginning of each section: the Body electric, A divine nimbus exhales, and the Body at auction. the Body Electric was written for the 2009 Wellesley College Composers Conference and was premiered on the final concert of the conference with Jim Baker conducting.

Bulk performance CDs (10 pack) for The Body of Christ (55/1197L) Pepper Choplin beautifully and creatively crafted this telling of the final days of Jesus’ life, focusing on the meaning of His words and actions leading to the cross. With stunning melodies and a powerful orchestration by Michael Lawrence, we reflect on the feet that walked the earth, the hands that touched and healed, the voice that spoke the Word of God, and the head that bore a crown of thorns as Jesus was sacrificed. From the worshipful opener, We Behold His Glory, to the meditative and stunningly powerful path to the cross, O Sacred Journey, the importance of Christ’s body remains the center point of this work. The final number, We Are the Body of Christ, is a benediction that can be presented immediately following the preceding number or after closing remarks from a speaker. For Christ is our head and though we are many, His Spirit will make us one…Go now as the body of Christ..

UPC: 785147963608. English. Text by St. Teresa of Avila.
This reflective piece for choir uses the translation of a quote often attributed to Teresa of Ãvila, but more likely dating to the mid-19th century. The recurring theme in the text of Christ having “no body now but yours†does not diminish the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, but reinforces the belief that, by partaking of the Body of Christ, we become his body and so make him present to others through our action in the world. This gentle piece can also be sung as a solo piece, with unison choir, or even by the assembly once they have become familiar with it. Haunting and beautiful.
