There is no more poignant sight than the solemn ceremony of the folded flag. The dignity associated with honoring one who has given the last full measure of devotion is rich with tradition and provides a moment of deep reverence for those in grief. This inspiring anthem presents three moments with the flag as it moves from the hands of grief to soaring and into the hearts of the future. The music has a cinematic scope, following the text with a theme that lifts the message of commitment and devotion to the heavens. An instant classic!

Inspired by the classic carol Silent Night, this newly composed sacred nocturne moves beyond its source material and delivers an exquisite portrait of Christmas grace. A memorable melody propels the piece forward with gentle phrasing while a flowing piano part offers colorful support. The development section offers contrast as the angelic chorus breaks forth with luminous praise. An optional chamber orchestration beautifully wraps this message of hope in a sonic blanket. Very special! Score and Parts (fl, ob, cl, bn, hn, vibes, aux perc, pno, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.

The composition of Verba Ecclesiastes begun in 2002 as a result of a comission from my friend Gary Graden. For many years I've found those words from the Old Testament very fascinating - as everyone knows, I'm not alone. Vanity of vanities! All is vanity! Writers, painters and filmmakers have for centuries been dealing with the subject and I found it high time to set the famous words to music. The suite, for soloists, choir and violoncello, consists of six movements, each one enlighting a different view of life and afterlife, and also, as Matthew Arnold puts it of human misery. Yet the suite is full of hope and humanity, specially recognizable in the two central parts, Dulce lumen and Omnia tempus habent. The music was completed in 2009. (Michael Waldenby).
