Matsushita
has conceived his setting
of the Pentecost sequence
entirely in the
Renaissance polychoral
tradition. He employs the
full choir (within
individual choirs divisi
passages also
occasionally occur)
solely for magnificent
sounding climaxes at
conclusions, prior to
these occurrences he
repeatedly combines
groups of voices or he
allows individual choirs
to sing, effectively, in
alternation. This type of
reduction is even carried
over to quasi Gregorian
passages sung by one
voice in unison. The
piece is tonal
throughout, with
occasional diatonic
seasoning. The
consistently homophonic
setting is oriented
towards the declamation
of the Latin text.
Melodically it is in the
style of modal, Gregorian
structures, without
quoting the well-known
sequence. A fast,
rhythmically syncopated
declamatory section
introduces, the
dramaturgically
appropriate climax to the
solemn conclusion, which,
molto legato, returns
once again with large
upward swings to the text
of the first strophe.
Matsushita writes in a
comfortable vocal range
so that the work can be
sung, at the same time,
in both a relaxed and
grandiose manner. For
large choirs, even for
oratorio choirs with only
limited experience in a
cappella singing, this
piece is aptly suited for
performance and the music
is both grateful and
brings much joy for
singers.

Fritsch, Ahasverus. Text
by Ahasverus
Fritsch.
This
six-movement cantata uses
the hymn of the same name
by Ahasverus Fritsch,
first recorded in 1698 in
the Darmstadter
Liederbuch. This places
it amongst those chorale
cantatas which use a hymn
from the repertoire
associated with Pietism.
As was customary, the
hymn text is retained in
the outer movements,
whereas the text for the
inner movements - two
secco recitatives and a
tenor and a bass aria -
are concerned with the
contrast between the
hostile world and the
certainty of Jesus; the
links between the cantata
text and the Feast of the
Epiphany are
correspondingly tenuous.
In the first movement the
soprano sings the hymn
melody complete,
accompanied by mainly
homophonic vocal parts,
whilst the instrumental
writing is largely
influenced by the melody
of the first line of the
hymn. Remarkable is the
tenor aria, with its
contrasting central
section and its chromatic
twists and turns, in
which Bach once again
proves himself to be a
master of harmony. The
demands on the chorus are
fairly modest, whereas
the instrumentalists are
challenged in the first
movement and in both the
arias. Score and part

The
life-changing story of
Jesus' death and
resurrection is told from
the unique perspective of
the Samaritan woman at
the well as she is
transformed by the
sacrificial love of
Christ in this passionate
new work from Deborah
Craig-Claar, Allan
Douglas and Phillip
Keveren. Two actresses
portray the woman called
Anna - an older woman who
looks back at the Passion
events from a
post-resurrection
perspective, and her
younger counterpart who
encounters Jesus at the
well and joins His
followers in Jerusalem
during Passion Week. The
extraordinary score
includes songs written or
made popular by today's
most accomplished
artists, including
Michael W. Smith, Keith
Getty, Stuart Townend,
Matt Maher, and Natalie
Grant. Phillip Keveren's
breathtaking chamber
ensemble instrumentation
creates an intimate and
compelling experience. At
only 40 minutes in length
and with only two female
characters, one male
character, and purely
optional
sets/lights/costumes,
Never Thirst Again can be
offered by churches of
any size or production
capability.
Includ
es songs written or made
popular by Michael W.
Smith, Keith Getty,
Stuart Townend, Matt
Maher, Natalie Grant,
Tony Wood, Michael
Farren, Audrey Assad, and
Shelley Johnson. Chamber
ensemble instrumentation
creates an intimate and

Text: Fritsch,
Ahasverus.
This
six-movement cantata uses
the hymn of the same name
by Ahasverus Fritsch,
first recorded in 1698 in
the Darmstadter
Liederbuch. This places
it amongst those chorale
cantatas which use a hymn
from the repertoire
associated with Pietism.
As was customary, the
hymn text is retained in
the outer movements,
whereas the text for the
inner movements - two
secco recitatives and a
tenor and a bass aria -
are concerned with the
contrast between the
hostile world and the
certainty of Jesus; the
links between the cantata
text and the Feast of the
Epiphany are
correspondingly tenuous.
In the first movement the
soprano sings the hymn
melody complete,
accompanied by mainly
homophonic vocal parts,
whilst the instrumental
writing is largely
influenced by the melody
of the first line of the
hymn. Remarkable is the
tenor aria, with its
contrasting central
section and its chromatic
twists and turns, in
which Bach once again
proves himself to be a
master of harmony. The
demands on the chorus are
fairly modest, whereas
the instrumentalists are
challenged in the first
movement and in both the
arias.
