About� � Jónas Halgrímsson (1807-1845) was an Icelandic poet, author and naturalist, who is considered one of Iceland's most renowned poets. Considered a Romantic writer, the strong imagery in his poetry was influenced heavily by the landscapes around him.The imagery, excitement, and curiosity of the universe leapt off the page and the music almost wrote itself.  Reflecting on the cosmos and origin of the heavens, the poetry elicits excitement and stirs spatial imagery - ...speeding spark of light, ...wings swifter than wind..., ...I watched the stars...rise from the still stream of heaven... The pure and almost child-like fascination with the universe and its expansion and progression fuels the perpetual rhythm of the work as it continually pushes forward.A good friend asked if I would write a song for her ensemble. The original voicing, for SAB choir, contained parameters in that it had to be three-part with a limited range in the Bass part. With these stipulations I began to write. I searched for something that would be exciting for them and landed on Jonas Halgrimsson’s writings. I believe it is equally as exciting, accessible and challenging for treble choirs.Note to the DirectorTruly consider how the work can come to ‘life’ off the page. Rise and fall with phrase and sometimes each note. The magic exists beyond the ink on the page!Consideration to range, tessitura, and content was all considered as part of this process in creating music that is accessible to all programs and ensembles.Accompaniment NoteThe accompaniment can look intimidating, but please feel free to alter the pulsing eighth notes in the left hand with the eighth notes in the right-hand so it creates a compound rhythm. So long as the momentum of the work is pressed onward, you are doing this work justice.

UPC: 785147973003. English, Spanish. Text Source: Revised Order of Mass 2010, Lectionary for Mass

Over the past few years, as I have experienced the radical cultural transformation of Roman Catholic communities in the United States, I decided that I wanted to create something in response and support. Mass of Creation went through multiple revisions—into a Protestant version, a revised (2010) text version and a bilingual version. At each transition, the music struggled (I believe) to make the text “sing” as it had with the original version. With the Mass of Reconciliation / Misa de Reconciliación, I began with the premise that the text would be created to be sung throughout either in English or Spanish. My hope was that faith communities that had Masses in both languages might learn the mass setting in their own language and, when they came together for major feast days (Christmas Eve/Day, Easter Vigil/Day, and other celebrations) they could each sing with confidence and passion a setting in their own language.

Text by John Reynell Wreford.

Melodic and harmonic interest are features of this song of faith. Stanza one establishes the tune, stanza two gives it to the men with women singing a counter melody, stanza three becomes a “B” section in this AABA form, and the final stanza raises the key and repeats the two counter melodies with S over AB. .

UPC: 688670530968. English. John 11:25-26.

After a short preamble, the soaring, original melody is passed back and forth between the women's and men's voices, I am the resurrection and the life. The middle, contrasting section has the voices singing homophonically, and then the alternating material returns. A coda reminiscent of the preamble contains the title text. An easy, effective anthem which is useful at several points in the liturgical year. Duration: 4:30.

ISBN 9781491164440. UPC: 680160923342. Key: C# minor. English. Christina Rossetti.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,                                                       Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;                                                               Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,                                                             In the bleak midwinter, long ago.What can I give Him, poor as I am?                                                                                        If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;                                                                         If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;                                                                        Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.The text from this beloved poem of Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) was originally published in an 1872 issue of Scribner’s Monthly, under the title A Christmas Carol. In the first of its five stanzas, the speaker describes in great detail a bitingly cold winter scene, void of both warmth and light. By the final stanza, the speaker's thoughts turn inward, asking what gift they may offer the infant Jesus, meek though they believe themselves to be.The poem was later set by English composer Gustav Holst (1874–1934) as a contribution to the English Hymnal in 1906 and remains the most popular setting today.London-born Rossetti came to be regarded not only as one of the greatest female poets of her time, but as an outspoken advocate on several societal issues, including slavery and cruelty towards animals.In this setting, word painting is of the utmost importance. Careful attention to word stress throughout the course of the piece will make the performance all the more captivating. Descriptive lines such as “frosty wind made moan” should be conveyed with swelling crescendos, like frigid gusts of frozen air.While this piece features an original tune, the beloved Holst melody is also featured briefly, beginning in m. 28. Take care to bring this out.There are plenty of other allusions to wintry scenes scattered throughout the choral parts as well as the accompaniment. I encourage you to put your sleuthing “hats” on and find them all. It will make the learning experience much more memorable and fun.
