Program
note:
Looking Up
is a piece for large
chorus and orchestra, and
is in three sections,
played without pause. In
the 16th century, a
variety of psalters in
meter were printed in
England, with the idea of
making psalm-singing
something that could
happen easily at home,
with the rhyming meter
being an aid to
memorization. These
translations are
wonderful exercises in
brevity and sometimes
clumsy rhymemaking, and
were usually prefaced by
a lengthy explanation as
to their merits; the
title of one of the first
such volumes in English
is: The Psalter of Dauid
newely translated into
Englysh metre in such
sort that it maye the
more decently, and wyth
more delyte of the mynde,
be reade and songe of al
men. I thought it would
be appropriate to set one
of these introductions,
and the first section of
Looking Up sets the
preface to Thomas
Ravenscroft's psalter
(1621), in which he
writes: “The
singing of Psalmes (assay
the Doctors) comforteth
the sorrowfull, pacifieth
the angry, strengtheneth
the weake, humbleth the
proud, gladdeth the
humble, stirres up the
slow, reconcileth
enemies, lifteth up the
heart to heavenly things,
and uniteth the Creature
to his
Creator.”
It
begins meditatively, but
eventually grows agitated
and fervent, with a
vision of the
“quire of Angels
and Saints”
“redoubling
anddescanting” - an
ecstatic and terrifying
vision of the skies
opening up. Ravenscroft
then encourages the use
of instrumental musicfor
worship, at which point,
a long, acrobatic
orchestral interlude with
jagged edges antagonizes
the choir, who sing a
kind of private, anxious
meditation on two
pitches.
One of
the most delicious
biblical texts is an
Apocryphal prayer known
as the Benedicite or the
Prayer of the Three
Children (the same who
were rescued by an angel
after King Nebuchadnezzar
tried to have them burnt
in an oven for not bowing
to his image). The text
is repetitive, obsessive,
and a gift to composers -
each line is an
invocation of an element
of the natural world,
followed by the phrase,
“blesse ye the
Lord, praise him &
magnify him for
ever.” In Looking
Up, the setting begins
with three solo voices,
and then grows to include
the whole choir,
itemizing the whole of
creation. The idea that
these boys are spared
from the furnace and then
five minutes later are
saying, “O ye the
fire and warming heate,
blesse ye the
Lord...” has always
felt very loaded to me,
and the orchestra plays
with this conflict
between joyful praise and
a more terrible (in the
16th-century sense)
awefor the
divine.
The text
for the third, and
shortest, section is
taken from Christopher
Smart's (1722-1771) A
Song to David,
purportedly written
during his confinement in
a mental asylum. This ode
to King David points out
how David, as the author
of some of the Psalms,
observes the whole world
from the
“clustering
spheres” to the
“nosegay in the
vale.&rdquo.

i>TRANSFORMED,
new from Word Music &
Church Resources,
features Modern
Worship Songs
informed and inspired by
great hymns of the
church. These
aren’t hymns that
have simply been revamped
or reimagined within
unique arrangements.
Rather, they are new
songs incorporating
portions of a well known
hymn or that have their
roots and foundation in a
hymn. “Blended
Worship†(the term
we use to describe a
church that
combines the use of
both worship songs and
hymns as a worship style,
a strategic formatting
decision intended to
bring together the old
and the new) has now been
adopted by the
songwriting community as
more and more songwriters
are creating inspired and
anointed new songs of
worship which, at their
core, were birthed by a
hymn.
Hymns such
as It Is Well with My
Soul, I Need Thee Every
Hour, Amazing Grace,
Nothing but the
Blood…all of
these and more lend
themselves to the
creation of deeply
moving,
powerfully-impacting
modern worship hymns for
today’s
contemporary evangelical
church; new modern
worship hymns bringing
together the best of the
past with the brightest
of the future.
Transformed, they become
songs like It Is
Well (Bethel),
Broken Vessels
(Amazing Grace)
(Hillsong),
Come Thou Fount,
Come Thou King
(Gateway)...10 new songs
with a rich heritage,
deep roots, and a fresh
anointing…all
brilliantly adapted for
choir, orchestra and
congregation by arrangers
David Wise and Tim
Paul. Immerse your
congregation in moments
of profound, heartfelt
worship as they join with
your choir in singing
these new, next
generation hymns.

This
work was commissioned by
the University of British
Columbia through the gift
of David Lemon. It was
first performed on 11th
May 1997 at the Chan
Center, University of
British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada, by
Valdine Anderson
(soprano), Linda Maguire
(mezzo soprano), Paul
Moore (tenor) and Kevin
McMillan (baritone), with
the Vancouver Bach Choir
and the CBC Vancouver
Orchestra, conducted by
the composer. Like
Vaughan Williams in his
Job: A Masque for
Dancing, Davies was
inspired in part by
William Blake's 21
engravings for the Book
of Job. His oratorio,
however, is less
dependent on finding
parallels for Blake's
visual details, given the
direct poetry in David
Lemon's adaptation of the
Stephen Mitchell
translation from the
biblical original, it is
hardly surprising that
the spotlight should be
so much on Job's
suffering litany. The
baritone has the lion's
share of the setting,
though the other soloists
occasionally reinforce
his plea and chorale-like
episodes universalize his
predicament. Davies
frames with work with two
seminal plainsong-like
passages; there is also
plenty of dramatic
contrast both within
Job's monologues and in
the vivid orchestral
writing for the smarmy
Comforters, the initially
shrill God who finally
appears out of a dazzling
orchestral whirlwind and
the animal life he uses
to illustrate the wonders
of creation to a humbled
Job.

David
Cherwien writes a
poignant setting of a
Ruth Duck hymn text,
found in All Creation
Sings, which asks for
God's care while
suffering from chronic
pain. In his choral
arrangement, Cherwien
effectively embraces both
the depth of the text and
austerity of the tune
PROSPECT while creating
an easily learned and
effective anthem. Sing
this for services that
focus on healing and
God's constancy in our
lives. _x000D_.

Hail Lovely and
Pure is a setting for a
cappella chorus of a
short poem from The
Second Shepherds' Play,
an English mystery play
written in the 15th
century by The
Wakeï¬eld Master of
Northern England. Mystery
(or miracle) plays were a
form of medieval drama
that represented Biblical
subjects such as the
Creation and the Last
Judgment. The text
consists of the ï¬rst
lines spoken by the
shepherds when they
entered the stable to
celebrate the birth of
Jesus. My brother David
C. K. McClelland
(1947-1976) translated
this fragment from the
original Middle English
and made a small
calligraphic version of
it which I discovered
among his papers. David
probably intended to make
a larger, more elaborate
manuscript of the poem,
though if he did so it
has not been found.SATB

Bednall's
creation, rooted in the
tradition of French organ
improvisation, tenderly
evokes the mysterious
beauty of Wells
Cathedral's remarkable
'Jesse Window'. The
radiant music ebbs and
flows calmly, moving
through freely expressive
passages of rich harmony,
before closing with
gentle murmurs at the top
of the instrument.

commemorate to 100th
aniversary of powered
flight, this dynamic
David Shaffer creation is
an ideal programming
choice for better bands.
Includes solo spots for
piccolo, F horn, oboe,
trumpet, alto sax and
flute as well as a host
of percussion parts
including piano. A broad
rubato section provides a
wonderful contrast to the
bright agressive opening
tempo and produces a
composition that is
challenging but well
worth the effort.
EXCEPTIONAL!
