The Longest
Night is a unique winter
service of devotion that
has a very special
ministry focus. This
introspective smaller
work is intended to be a
worship experience that
encourages those going
through times of sorrow
and grief during the
holidays. Inspired by the
solstice, winter's
longest night, this
service of music,
scripture and prayer
brings light into the
darkness and offers hope
to those in deepest need.
A small consort
orchestration adds a
fragile intimacy and
brings a healing ambience
to this singular service
of song. Songs include:
Prelude (In the Bleak
Midwinter); Be Still and
Know; The Winter Weeps in
Snowfall; He Shall Feed
His Flock; The Healing
Place; I Thank My God for
You; In the Bleak
Midwinter. Score and
Parts (fl, ob/eng hn, fr

Vulcan's
Anvil is intended for
band students who have
completed at least one
year of instruction. In
order to capture properly
the character of the
music, students should
not confuse a Star Trek
character with the title
character of this piece.
Explain to them that
Vulcan is the ancient
mythological god of fire
who is often portrayed
holding a hammer over an
anvil at a blacksmith's
hearth. Of primary
importance to an
effective performance is
the acquisition of an
instrument which produces
a convincing anvil sound.
If possible, consult with
an orchestral
percussionist who, more
than likely, has used the
anvil in Verdi's Anvil
Chorus or in Wagner's
Ring Cycle. Web searches
will reveal in-depth
information about anvils
in music and the lore of
the character Vulcan.
Regarding wind
instruments, articulation
is always marcato. There
are no tender or
contrasting passages in
this piece. Effective
execution of crescendos
will add drama to the
music. As always, balance
between winds and
percussion is crucial.
