My Exsultet uses the ancient chant to which the Easter Proclamation is declaimed, normally by a deacon at the start of the Great Vigil of Easter. The chant dates from somewhere between the fourth and seventh centuries and consists of formulaic repetitions of simple phrases. I have elaborated these phrases canonically, melodically, and harmonically into a three-part vocal fabric, accompanied by obbligato instruments. The full text of the original goes on for quite some time. My choral-instrumental version is much shorter.
Commissioned by the Young People's Chorus of New York City for Transient Glory and dedicated to Francisco J. Núñez.

Now available for SSAA.This thrilling new arrangement by twin brothers Matt and Adam Podd became an internet sensation shortly after we were all quarantined due to Covid-19. Drawing on friendships in the New York City Broadway, church, and opera worlds, more than 120 world class singers and players came together to create the virtual choir and orchestra. In the final chorus, the arrangers very cleverly turn the iconic phrase “How can I keep from singing?†into “Keep Singing.†A message we all need to hear and remember during times of isolation and at all times.
