680160691098. The Garden
of the Finzi-Continis
novel by Giorgio
Bassani.
Based on
Bassani’s 1962 novel,
THE GARDEN OF THE
FINZI-CONTINIS dramatizes
the true story of a
prosperous Jewish
family’s disruptions
and consequences from
state-mandated
antisemitism in Italy
during World War II.
Gordon describes the
opera as “romantic,
sun-drenched, and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.” This
dramatically topical and
personal grand opera
premiered at New York
City Opera and National
Yiddish Theatre
Folksbiene to rave
reviews in 2022. Chris
Ruel wrote in OperaWire,
“I have chosen Ricky
Ian Gordon and Michael
Korie’s THE GARDEN OF
THE FINZI-CONTINIS as my
favorite opera of
2022.”. At one
point, in 2008, I was
walking down 72nd Street,
and I passed the video
store, (this is when
there were video stores)
and I thought to myself,
I wonder if Kevin (my
partner) has ever seen
The Garden of the
Finzi-Continis? which was
always one of my favorite
movies. My reaction when
we watched it that night
was unlike any other time
I had seen it. I was
wrenched, sobbing,
inconsolable. My heart
felt like the autumn
leaves we see blowing
through the garden at the
end of the movie. It
seemed immediately that
this had to be my next
opera. I called Michael
Korie, and we both bought
the Bassani novel and
read it. We settled on
it. It felt clear that we
both had a collective
story to tell through
it.Because this opera is
so close to both of our
hearts, it is dedicated
to our fathers.It is not
only that The Garden of
the Finzi-Continis is a
Holocaust story that
makes it so resonant for
me, though obviously this
is no small matter, but
the tragedy of people
trying to live their
lives, or actually living
them, their petty
disappointments, their
heartbreaks, against the
backdrop of total
catastrophe… that makes
it so moving. They cannot
possibly imagine what
will befall them, but we
know… and this makes
their every move
fascinating and
devastating… like
watching moths under a
glass. It is romantic,
sun-drenched and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.This is why I
had to write it.

school choirs. Here is a
suggested outline for
combining multiple
choirs: Rehearsal Letters

Rehearsal Letter E to the
end: Everyone! Song of
the Sound: Running on the
beach, digging in the
sand, Seaweed in my toes,
bucket in my hand. When
I'm at the shore, way
above the rest, These are
all the things that I
love the best. Skipping
like a stone on the
water, diving deep in the
silvery foam, Swimming
far where the land cannot
hold us, where the
lighthouse calls us home.
Flying free above the
marshes, soaring high
above the sea, Where the
tern and cormorant and
plover call to lands we
cannot see.Come let us go
to the water, let us go
to the singing shore:
Where the gentle breezes
whisper and the mighty
breakers roar. We will
look to the shining
ocean, to the East, where
the new day dawned: We
will sing a song of the
edge of the world and the
waiting sky beyond. -Poem

April, by Edna St.
Vincent
Millay.
Second
April for S.A.T.B. Chorus
and Piano is a
four-movement set, based
on the poetry of Edna St.
Vincent Millay. Ewazen
has long been enamored
with her poetry's
wonderfully vivid and
descriptive imagery of
nature and emotions, and
its powerful and profound
meaning. The final
movement, INTO THE GOLDEN
VESSEL OF GREAT SONG is
an appassionato call to
overcome! The poem
exhorts us to “sing
out” with hope,
determination, and
strength. The music
contrasts turmoil and
times of strife with a
return to championing the
idea of simply
overcoming, going forward
with hope and
determination, with the
closing music in major,
resonant and strong.
. SECOND APRIL for
S.A.T.B. Chorus and Piano
is a four-movement set,
based on the poetry of
Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I have long been enamored
with the poetry of Millay
for its wonderfully vivid
and descriptive imagery,
and its often powerful
and profound meaning.
Millay’s descriptions
of nature, and of
feelings and emotions,
have always spoken to me.
SECOND APRIL consists of
four of her poems, each
with a distinctive mood,
message, and emotional
feel. They are vivid,
powerful, and beautiful,
inspiring me to capture
these descriptions of the
various scenes she
portrays. Song of a
Second April uses music
to underlie strong
feelings, passions, and
the tragedies of life.
The poem itself is
dramatic, detailing a
time of personal strife
and tragedy, perhaps the
end of a relationship or
even the end of a life.
The music is intense,
fast, in a minor key, and
with rapid, spinning
notes creating a feeling
of powerful, relentless
emotions. Melodies,
motives, and gestures are
tossed between the
voices, increasing the
feelings of intensity and
even desperation. Little
by little, the music
almost dies away, getting
quieter and quieter,
creating a feeling of
resignation, but with a
Picardy Third in the
final chord – maybe a
bit of hope! Mariposa
is a celebration of
nature, wandering through
a field with white and
blue butterflies
appearing almost
wondrously. But there’s
also a profound feeling
of poignancy, noting that
as one relishes such a
beautiful, magical sight,
they should embrace the
experience – the
fleeting, transient
nature of such a perfect
vision and of life
itself. The music
portrays the flying of
the butterflies: gentle,
beautiful, with rich
chords and arpeggios, but
stepping back, as the
fleeting nature of life
is the reality, with
gentle, but sombre chords
interspersed with the
magical flight of the
Mariposa.Alms is a fast
rondo, intense, bold, and
always dance-like. It is
about both tragedy and
resilience. This music is
also in minor, yet with
moments of playfulness,
as a recollection of
happy times or moments
takes over. This seesaw
between emotions is heard
throughout the movement,
as the music continues to
“dance.” And with
Millay’s summing up of
“reality being what it
is,” the piece ends
with strength, boldness,
and finality. Into the
Golden Vessel of Great
Song is an appassionato
call to overcome! The
poem exhorts us to
“sing out” with hope,
determination, and
strength. The music is
full of bright and
lilting energy; but as
the turmoil and times of
strife people can
sometimes feel or
experience, the music
becomes intense,
dramatic, in a minor key,
and with changing
rhythms. BUT, there is a
return to championing the
idea of simply
overcoming, going forward
with hope and
determination, and the
music is in major,
resonant and strong.

In
2014, Chanticleer
commissioned me to make a
new arrangement of the
Hungarian-Romani folk
song Jarba, Mare Jarba
for their 2014 touring
program. Passed down
orally through the Romani
communities, this
beautiful folk song, with
text in a language called
Beas (beh-osh), speaks of
a deep longing to visit
one's homeland, a place
where the singer can
never return. Chanticleer
consists of twelve men
whose vocal ranges span
from low bass to high
soprano, equivalent to
the range of a mixed
choir of women and men. I
composed slow sections of
original material to
represent the singers'
longing to return home;
these are interspersed
with the folk song's
traditional fast
sections. The
incorporated shouts and
calls in the score are
typically found in the
performance of Central
European folk songs. I
hope you enjoy singing
this new version of
Jarba, Mare Jarba that
contains all of the vigor
and excitement of the
Chanticleer version.

India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s World” by
Edna St. Vincent Millay,
which describes the world
in exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “On thine
own child” praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O voluptuous
cool-breathed earth!”
Part I ends with “A
Blade of Grass” in
which Whitman muses how
our planet has been
spinning in the heavens
for a very long time.Part
II: The Rise of Humanity
examines the achievements
of mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley Hall” sets
an auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s “Railways
1846,” William Ernest
Henley’s “A Song of
Speed,” and John
Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s
“High Flight,” each
of which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In “Binsey
Poplars,” Gerard Manley
Hopkins takes note of the
effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A Dirge”
concludes Part II with a
warning that the planet
is beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s plight,
re-establish a deeper
connection to it, and
find a balance for living
within our planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the earth’s
plea that ended the
previous section: Lord
Byron’s “Darkness”
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s “Earth
Screaming” gives voice
to the modern issues of
our changing climate; and
William Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too Much
With Us” warns us that
we are almost out of time
to change our course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell Berry’s
“The Want of Peace”
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts (“A
Child said, What is the
grass?” and “There
was a child went forth
every day”) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s “A Blade
of Grass” from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states, “I
bequeath myself to the
dirt to grow from the
grass I love…”My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her?

From K.
Lee Scott, this anthem is
based on verses from
Psalm 116. Lyrical and
memorable, the tune is in
ABA form and features a
contrasting middle
section. The
accompaniment works well
for piano but is easily
adapted for organ.
What shall I offer
to the Lord for all His
goodness to me? I will
lift up salvation's cup
and call upon the name of
the Lord.
I will
make my vows to the Lord
in the presence of His
people; in the courts of
the house of the Lord; in
your midst, O
Jerusalem.

edition is the latest
addition to Boosey &

reductions of
choral/orchestral scores
(Finzis Requiem da
Camera, For St Cecilia,
In terra pax). The
reductions broaden the
reach of these works to
choirs which do not wish
to present the works with
orchestra, as with other
standards from the sacred
repertoire such the
Requiems of Faure and
Durufle. athetically
recreat The Reductions
sympathetically recreate
the orchestra scoring for
a three-manual organ.
Ingeniously, the manual
couplings (II to III, II
and III to I) are
unaltered throughout,
with pedal coupled to
manuals as appropriate.

The call to
spread the good news of
the Gospel echoes through
the centuries directly
from the Savior. Jesus
had a unique worldview
because He was the first
born over all creation;
everything was created by
Him and for Him. He chose
the time and place of His
appearing on Earth. He
became the physical
manifestation of God's
love. His example and
teaching changed the
course of history - His
sacrifice and
Resurrection changed the
course of eternity.The
earthly ministry of the
Master was coming to an
end - the ministry of
sharing His message was
just beginning. However,
He promised to be with us
- even to the end of the
age. This work is a
celebration of the call
to serve - a challenge to
see the responsibility of
missions in a new Light -
and a charge to surround
those that surrender
their lives to the task
of the Great Commission
to go INTO ALL THE WORLD.
Because of the saints
that have come before -
because of the sacrifice
of those who continue to
support missions around
the world - because of
those who still answer
the call - and because of
being blessed and
empowered by the Holy
Spirit, the name of Jesus
is lifted across the
globe - AND THE SUN NEVER
SETS ON THE PRAISES OF
THE LORD!

Verse.
To celebrate
25 years of excellence
and promotion of new
concert works, the New
York Virtuoso Singers
commissioned 25
contemporary composers
for 25 new choral works,
all of which now appear
on their recording, 25 X
25: Twenty-Five Premieres
for Twenty-Five Years.
Among the 25 is Richard
Wernick's The Devil's
Game. Here, Wernick uses
The Devil's Verse, a
Latin palindrome that
still puzzles us today as
to its meaning, and
appropriately embraces
repetitive use of the
verse in a musical
palindrome of his
own. The text is a
palindrome (in girum imus
nocte et consumimur
igni), a rather
mysterious one called The
Devil’s Verse. Its
origin is vague (probably
Roman, but possibly
Medieval) and it does not
surrender its meaning
easily; many scholars
have fussed over it. It
is a riddle as well as a
palindrome, in other
words a puzzle within a
puzzle. My preferred
translation, without
going into the niceties
of Latin grammar, is
“We enter the
circle at night and are
consumed by
fire.â€This music is
also a palindrome, the
outer parts of which are
homophonic, while the
turning around point in
the center (where the
basses enter for the
first time) is a brief
double canon.
