UPC: 785147998006. English. Text Source: Inspired by the words of Pope Francis.
In the words of the composer, “Inspired by the wisdom of Pope Francis, who offers, ‘Show by your life that it is worth giving your time and talents in order to attain high ideals, that it is worth recognizing the dignity of each human person, and it is worth taking risks for Christ and his Gospel,’ this piece tries to explore every facet of what it means to let your life speak what you truly believe.†Lori True’s experiences working with the students of St. Catherine University, strong women whose actions speak as loudly as their cries for justice, inspired the composition of “Show by Your Life.†The verses can be sung by a cantor, but the community can learn and pray them to God and to one another, keeping one another accountable to the mission of the gospel.

What a wonderful song, full of life, that sings about the joy of being alive. The words are delightful, naming plants and animals with admiration, and carried by a tune that is bubbling with energy and gratefulness. A brief middle section even includes a time when the children can make animal noises in an enchanting way. The message to love and care for our planet comes through too. Easy to medium in difficulty.

These delightful anthems come at a time of great interest in Celtic music and literature. Dr. Greene has composed characterful and colorful music for each of these poems that will be a joy to learn. The Tree of Life is set quite reflectively with a flute obbligato that captures the elegiac text. Patrick s Evening Hymn has long phrase lines and a chant-like flow between the organ and voices. Caedmon s Hymn is set as a lively vigorous dance that emphasizes the strength of this text. The keyboard parts are discreet and supportive throughout and the voice ranges are quite moderate in scope. These short anthems are winning additions to the SAB repertory.

Practical, timeless advice abounds in this jaunty contemporary choral with texts lifted from Renaissance-era poetry and a translation of ancient verse. The opening melody winds around the tonic triad before the B section breaks into colorful contemporary harmony in a chorale setting. Light, yet legit.

Though most of the piece is in English, a brief Latin phrase provides the framework for this pensive meditation on the world of music and sound that surrounds us. The gentle ebb and flow of tempo allows choirs to explore new depths of choral expression. Sign language is available on Alfred's Movin' DVD.
