It offers compelling melodies and singable vocal lines interwoven with a piano accompaniment that makes subtle allusions to the main theme.About the TextThe text for this work was written while on an extended seashore retreat several years ago. It was the product of many long walks looking out into the vastness of the sea. It was a time in my life that was immediately preceded by great personal loss and turmoil. It was in that silence and space I was able to reconnect to that still, small voice within that reminded me that I was merely a part of something much bigger than myself. The text that was hewn from that experience is a reflection on the importance of allowing space in my daily life to experience the simple joys that every moment has to offer.Optional NarrationRegardless of race or creed the abundance that is found in the reality of the present moment is augmented by regular exposure to the arts. The capricious nature of time in the age of immediacy is that it is entirely flexible. Experience suggests that exposure to natural beauty, such as watching a sunrise unravel over the sea or a cloud formation sweep through a mountain range, allows an individual to feel part of something greater than themselves. Music has the ability to take time and slow it down, revealing to the participant their part in the whole. Taking part in choral music, whether as an audience member, singer, conductor or composer is an opportunity to slow down time long enough to allow the beauty of life to catch up with you.

Make Ye Merry uses an anonymous 15th century text with both Latin and English in a joyous, dancelike setting. Mr. Jones has contrasted both the joy and the mystery of Christ's birth in music that is by turns lyric and playful. The ecstatic joy of the Alleluia peals forth brilliantly in this work. There is the rhythmic underpinning that comes from the oldest traditions of the carol while the harmony and vocal lines are more contempory in sound. The organ part is challenging and colorful in style. Make Ye Merry would make a superb finale to any carol concert.

This contemplative and serene piece was commissioned as a retirement gift for Canadian organist and choir director, Paul Merrit, andfirst performed in 2016. The setting of the well-known biblical words (Matthew 5:9) makes use of a simple repeating melody which gradually builds in intensity through the work. The end returns to the opening calmness, deeply effective in its simplicity. Todd's rich harmonies prevail, underpinned by a supportive piano accompaniment, which also adds colour to the texture.
