This concertato setting of the Emmaus story is light in its texture but moving in its impact. The melody of the opening verse captures the heaviness of the travelers’ grief. An a cappella verse takes on an airiness reflecting the wonder of the discovery. The setting builds toward a joyful ending, with a statement of our mission as a living Church. Enjoy the pedal line’s depiction of the trudging gait in the brief interludes.

Lyrics by William Shakespeare.
Settings of two Shakespeare texts by John Hind, for the upper voices (SSA) with a full Piano accompaniment. The first, Come Away, Death is a sombre moment from Twelfth Night, with the second, Will You Buy Any Tape? taken from A Winter's Tale. The simple tonalities of the first song, coupled with the joyful dance-like rhythms of the second, suggest a courtly early-Renaissance sound characteristic of Shakespeare's time.

Modest and humble, this is how the old man Simeon is described; he who recognizes the fulfillment of his life, as he takes the new-born Jesus in his arms in the temple and praises him as the light to enlighten the heathen. Matsushita's setting of this scene is portrayed sensitively and, accordingly, is simple and primarily homophonic. The women's voices are set in a more comfortable range and are treated melodiously. Thus the composition can move in a very relaxed manner, flowingly, meditatively. The work is entirely tonal, without any modernisms. Important words are emphasized through the use of third relationships. The almost minimalistic piano accompaniment proceeds both independently from the choir, yet supports it and adds color which lends the work a traditional as well as a clearly contemporary character. This first choral piece can be performed by soloists or by a small choir, making it easily accessible to any girl's or women's choir.
