tmas Musical The message
of Christmas is a message
of joy - and becomes the
central theme that is
woven throughout this
37-minute musical by
Lloyd Larson. Easily
learned, this work
contains eight selections
of both new and familiar
carols and spirituals,
including Keith Getty's
powerful song, 'Joy Has
Dawned. ' The work is

season, which
congregations will find
appealing, as the message
embraces the hope that we
have in both the good
days and the bad - that
joy has dawned upon the
world - giving us
something to
celebrate!

A
Basque Carol (also known
as Gabriel's Message)
originated from the 13th
or 14th century. This
brilliantly crafted tune
is at once hauntingly
beautiful, yet warm and
joyous. The lasting power
of this song is in the
craftsmanship of the
melody. Its contours are
complex and skillful, yet
incredibly simple to
sing. A Basque Carol's
popularity can also be
attributed to it's
elegant translation into
English by Sabine
Baring-Gould. While
translations often feel
blunt or coarse, this one
is especially poetic (his
wings as drifted snow,
his eyes as flame). In
this orchestration, a
flowing, cinematic style
is combined with rich,
thickly-textured string
voicings inspired by
composer Ralph Vaughn
Williams. This graceful
arrangement features an
obbligato line on solo
recorder (optional solo
flute or violin). It may
be performed by orchestra
and soloist alone, or
with soprano and alto
choir (or S/A soloists).
There is even a moment
quoted from another

Traditional Christmas
Spiritual.
Berg's
fantastic setting of this
beloved American
Christmas spiritual for
advanced tenor-bass
choirs tells a story of
hope and meaning. The
various textures
throughout the a cappella
arrangement with solos
add much variety and
musical interest. A
holiday programming
must!. This beloved
American Christmas
Spiritual, like all
spirituals and/or folk
songs, tells a story.
This is a story of hope
and meaning. The
introductory solo call
and response (mm. 1-7) is
hymnic in nature, just to
get us started. (Think of
it as an effective head
fake!) The entrance at m.
8 from the upper three
voices (we'll call them
the trio part henceforth)
is pivotal. They set the
stage for the
conversation between the
singers and the soloist
for the rest of the song.
From this point, the song
is basically a Jazz Trio
in vocal form. The bass
singers take on the role
of the cool dude in the
back wearing dark glasses
and a beret playing the
string bass. They provide
the driving force for the
forward movement of the
entire song. The trio
part, basically tenors 1
& 2 and baritones,
take on the role of the
keyboard providing
chordal structure and
syncopation. Their job is
to fill the listener's
ear with sound and
rhythm. The soloist tells
the story using the known
melody and text with
appropriate improv
opportunities to keep the
listeners focused on the
message of the song.
There is enough
repetition to make for
easy learning, but this
also means that the
chords need to snap into
position cleanly every
time. The Verses are
easily identified (there
are three) and presented
with some small
variations in Verse 3
(see mm. 56-58...this
only happens once). The
Refrain (mm. 30-37) is
the part of the song
where the singers switch
from the Jazz Trio role
and actually become a
Men's Choral Ensemble.
This Refrain is repeated
after Verse 3 at mm.
66-71. Between verses 2
& 3, there is not a
refrain. Instead, there
is a bridge repeated from
the introductory
material, but used this
time to move us into a
new key signature. This
can be a very exciting
moment for the singers as
well as the listeners!
Measures 72-75 is known
in the business as a
vamp. It can be repeated
once and then move on, OR
it can be repeated
multiple times, depending
on the comfort level of
the soloist and the
response of the audience.
It is important that
there be a clear signal
from the conductor as to
how to end the vamp and
move effectively to the
actual coda of the song.
The ending should be sung
with tight control that
only looks like reckless
abandon! Faces bright;
words clean; melody
clear; rhythms precise!

Frost.
About the
work ... Few American
poems are as well known
as The Road Not Taken.
Robert Frost, the author,
is an international icon,
not unlike Pablo Picasso,
Winston Churchill or Mark
Twain in their own
disciplines.The poem is
full of contradictions
and quirks of form and
structure. Perhaps that
illusiveness is part of
the poem's intrigue. But
beyond all of the
literary devices that
only a few scholars may
fully appreciate, this
poem has taken on a sort
of fanfare for the common
person credo - a
challenge to
individualism, stepping
out on one's own, and
breaking the mold out of
sheer determination if
nothing else. Frost
connects to the core of
the human spirit in just
a few stanzas using the
analogy of a fork in a
road. The message super
cedes geography, culture,
race or creed. Rather, it
is part of the DNA of
most every person on the
planet - the inner desire
to feel empowered to
create one's own destiny,
to forge a road not
taken, and ultimately in
doing so, to make a
difference. Rehearsal
notes ... Research
strongly suggests that
there is a direct
connection between the
first rehearsal and the
performance. First
impressions last. I find
it helpful to immediately
lock three concepts into
place - mechanics
(notes/rhythms),
text/phrasing (intent and
motivation) and color
(timbre). Performers need
to think musically from
the first reading forward
(first impression). The
cello is very much a
collaborative instrument
in this work, and should
be located in front of
the ensemble (not to
side). Lastly, let the
text speak. The simplest
melodic lines are often
the most exposed. Keep
the voices clear and
transparent, floating
over the top in softer
passages, and singing
with vibrancy and forward
focus throughout. Z.

Francis
Bebey was born in Douala
in July 1929, into a
large family where his
father, a pastor,
struggled to feed his
children. But Francis had
the opportunity to go to
school. Admiring his
elder brother, Marcel
Eyidi Bebey, he educated
himself, distinguished
himself, and eventually
received a scholarship to
go and take his
baccalaureate in
France. We approached
the end of the 1950s when
he arrived in La
Rochelle. More than ever,
in this France where
Africans were looked at
with curiosity,
condescension, or
disdain, Francis relied
on his intellectual
resources. A diligent
worker, he obtained his
Baccalaureate, then moved
to Paris where he started
English studies at the
Sorbonne. One day, he
knew what truly attracted
him: he wanted to do
radio. Francis learned
his craft in France and
in the USA. After
working for a few years
as a reporter, he was
hired in 1961 as an
international civil
servant in the UNESCO
Information
Department. In
parallel, Francis had
always been drawn to
musical creation. His
very serious daytime
activity didnâ??t
prevent him from
frequenting jazz clubs in
the evenings. In Paris,
the Jazz, the trendy
music of that time, but
also rumba and salsa
attracted him. He
collected records and
attended numerous
concerts. With his
accomplice Manu Dibango,
Francis took the stage
and played
music. Francis liked
classical music since his
childhood. He grew up
listening to the cantatas
and oratorios of Bach or
Handel that his father
had sung in the temple.
He became passionate
about the guitar,
impressed by the Spanish
and South American
masters, and decided to
learn to strum the
instrument himself. He
started composing guitar
pieces, blending the
various influences that
flow through him with the
traditional African music
he had carried within
since childhood. His
approach captivated the
director of the American
Cultural Center (then
located in the
Saint-Germain
neighborhood of Paris),
who offered him the
opportunity to perform in
front of an audience.
Francis gave his first
guitar recital there
(1963) in front of a
mesmerized audience. His
first solo album was
released shortly
thereafter. Gradually,
Francis became recognized
as a musician and
composer. Several albums
of the African guitar
ambassador, as described
by the press, were
released. He also wrote
books, to the point that
his artistic career
became challenging to
reconcile with his career
as a civil servant. In
1974, even though he had
become the General
Manager in charge of
music at UNESCO, he took
the bold leap and
resigned from this
prestigious institution
to dedicated himself to
the three activities that
interested him: music,
literature, and
journalism. He
explored the traditional
musical heritage of the
African continent,
notably through the thumb
piano sanza, and the
polyphonic music of the
Central African pygmies,
or singing in his native
language and composing
humoristic songs in
French! Success
followed. Francis Bebey
traveled the world: from
France to Brazil,
Cameroon to Sweden,
Germany to the Carribean,
or Morocco to Japan...
the list of countries
where he was invited to
perform, gives lectures,
or meets readers is very
long. In addition to
public recognition, he
enjoyed the recognition
of his fellow musicians,
such as guitarist John
Williams or Venezuelan
Antonio Lauro, who
invited him to be a part
of the jury for a
classical guitar
competition in
Caracas. His life was
the journey of an African
pioneer, a man rooted in
his cultural heritage and
carrying a message of
sharing and hope for the
world. His originality
continues to vibrate
around the world since
his passing at the end of
May 2001.

From the
cantata The Longest Night
comes this musical
affirmation of God's
comfort and care in our
lives. A heart-centered
melody gently embraces
the message of spiritual
and physical wellness,
incorporating the
familiar hymn Near to the
Heart of God. An
invitation to restoration
lies at the center of the
text, making it useful
for many tender moments
of contemplative worship.
Beautiful music meets
timeless message.

Julian of Norwich
(1342-1416).
Burrow
s's setting of words of
assurance from the
English mystic Julian of
Norwich (1342-1416) is as
relevant today as ever.
For the advanced mixed
ensemble, the powerful
lyrics coupled with
gorgeous harmonies make
this an optimistic song
of hope appropriate
throughout the
year. All shall be
well, And all shall be
well, And all manner of
thing shall be well.
These words of assurance
from the English mystic
Julian of Norwich
(1342-1416) are as
relevant today as ever.
During her life, Julian
saw her community
devastated by the Great
Plague as well as deep
civil unrest. Yet through
all the turmoil came a
vision of hope that has
given the world this
profound text. One of the
most striking features is
how this short text
incorporates so much
repetition. It's as if
the writer knew she must
be gently persistent in
order for her optimistic
message to truly sink in.
The opening section tries
to capture musically some
of that persistent
optimism. Then there is a
departure from this
optimistic tone (measure
26) The feel becomes more
desperate, building to an
anguished cry (measure
38), acknowledging the
reality that, while all
shall be well, things are
very much NOT well right
now. Eventually the
anguish subsides (measure
52) as the music turns
back hopeward with the
calm assurance, again and
again, that all shall be
well. All shall be
well,And all shall be
well,And all manner of
thing shall be well.These

Carol.
A Basque
Carol (also known as
Gabriel's Message) holds
a special place in
Western music. The carol
originates from Basque
country around the 13th
century, based on the
Latin hymn, Angelus ad
Virginem (likely of
Franciscan origin). The
tune quickly spread
throughout Europe,
finding popularity in
Britain where it was even
referenced in Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales: Playing
so sweetly that the
chamber rang; / and
Angelus ad virginem he
sang. . .. Interestingly,
the melody we know and
love today is derived
from the original Basque
version. In my view, this
tune is a perfect example
of melody-crafting. It is
at once hauntingly
beautiful, yet warm and
joyous. Its contours are
complex, dramatic, yet
singable. I believe this
melodic accessibility is
the key to the song's
lasting popularity. I
would also attribute A
Basque Carol's continued
popularity to its elegant
translation into English
(by Sabine Baring-Gould,
who rediscovered the
original Basque tune).
Translations often risk
sounding unimaginative,
coarse, and blunt. This
translation is strikingly
different. It was graced
with an especially poetic
translation including
lines such as his wings
as drifted snow, his eyes
as flame. I am very
excited to offer a new
perspective on this
classic carol, joining
the tradition of
composers preserving and
reimagining a priceless
medieval melody. My first
goal was to create a
flowing, richly-textured,
even cinematic string
accompaniment for the
choir. This approach was
very much inspired by the
dense, string-writing
style of English composer
Ralph Vaughan Williams.
My second goal was to
make the arrangement
flexible enough to be
performed with only
choir, only strings, or
(best of all) both
ensembles combined. To
further complement this
approach, I've added an
obligato line for a solo
recorder (solo flute or
violin work just as
well). If you listen
carefully, you will hear
a quote from my other
favorite holiday carol,
Jesu Bambino. I hope you
enjoy performing A Basque
Carol. I especially hope
that you sense the
ancient magic cast into
this tune, hearing the
ineffable qualities that
have compelled us to
sustain it for nearly a
millennium. Whether
you're a choir, a string
orchestra, or a combined
ensemble, this
arrangement of A Basque

haunting and lovely
addition to your next

This
arrangement of a moving
spiritual includes
enhanced original text.
The piece utilizes each
individual voice part for
canonic material in the
chorus to create a
building foundation
towards the cornerstone
of the message,
supporting the alto
soloist as they deliver
the melody in a way that
hearkens back to how it
would have been sung as a
field holler during the
years of African American
slavery. The arrangement
is suitable for a mixed
collegiate choir,
advanced high school
choir or large community
choir. “Hold On Just a
Little While Longer” is
a great piece for
concerts to feature a
strong alto soloist, or
themed around hope,
perseverance or African
American music. This
piece conveys a message
of hope and endurance for
all in the face of life's
challenges.
