Medieval Carol.
The
text of this poem is from
the Trinity Carol Roll,
an English manuscript
housed at the Wren
Library of Trinity
College, Cambridge. It is
originally in the Norfolk
dialect of Middle English
but has been modernized
for use in this setting.
Also, it's macaronic,
meaning it combines words
from two languages, the
other being Latin which
was in use by the church
when this carol was
written. The Latin
phrases come from
different parts of the
Advent/Christmas
liturgies; a sequence
called
Laetabundus, the
title of an Introit
antiphon called
Gaudeamus, and
the shepherds response in
the gospel of Luke 2:15,
Transeamus.

Gaudeamus Transeamus Let

compares the Virgin Mary
to a rose. She has a
special place among all
women in being chosen as
the mother of Jesus, and
likewise the rose has a
special place among all
flowers surpassing them
in complexity and beauty.
The music in this setting
mimics the petals of a

Imagine the petals
unfurling over time as
does the music which
starts in unison for each

complex harmonic twists.
Word painting is employed
in several places but
none are as important as
the dramatic climax in
the fourth verse where
the shepherds along with
all the angels in heaven
proclaim Gloria in
excelsis Deo (Glory to
God on high). What a

these words the music
reaches it loudest point
as the sopranos rise to
their highest note and

Rabindranath
Tagore.
Richard
Hageman (1881-1966) was a
born into a family of
musicians. As a pianist,
he performed concerts
from the age of six, and
his mastery of this
instrument is evident in
the intricate
accompaniment of this
piece. After coming to
America, (originally as
accompanist to touring
French singer Yvette
Guilbert), he worked for
a period of years as a
conductor and pianist for
the Metropolitan Opera in
New York. It was during
this period of time that
he composed Do Not Go, My
Love for solo voice,
originally dedicating it
to the operatic tenor,
George Hamlin. Hageman's
later career included
work in Hollywood, first
as a conductor, but later
as a film-score composer
and actor. Do Not Go, My
Love is well-known among
classical soloists, and
many recordings exist.
The SSA version of this
American standard brings
a vocal classic to
younger singers who might
not yet possess the
dexterity to perform the
original solo.
Rabindranath Tagore
(1861-1941) was an Indian
polymath; someone who
possesses deep knowledge
and understanding of many
disparate subjects.
Tagore's expertise
included the visual arts,
music, and poetry. Tagore
won the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1913,
contributing to his
receiving knighthood from
King George V in 1915,
but Tagore renounced his
knighthood after the 1919
Jallianwala Bagh
massacre. There are five
Tagore museums in
Bangladesh and three in
India; at least three
universities bear his
name. Do Not Go, My Love
is taken from The
Gardener, a collection of
poems translated from
Bengali by Tagore and
published in 1915. Number
34 in the collection, and
taken by itself, the poem
might be interpreted as
someone watching over the
deathbed of a lover or
child; however, the
larger narrative woven
through The Gardener
suggests a romantic
relationship being clung
to by the speaker.

adapted from Angels from
the Realms of Glory by
JAMES MONTGOMERY
(1771-1854).
I've
always enjoyed
celebratory and rhythmic
singing. I also know
there's a need for this
style in treble voices.
The holiday season is a
perfect time to create
such a work.The text of
The Angels' Gloria is
based on the familiar
Montgomery hymn with
original music. This work
can be easily be done as
a call and answer or
antiphonal setting. Try
using it as a
processional, too.
Hearing the voices
surround the audience is
always exciting for
everyone and a superb
teaching and learning
experience.The
accompaniment is
intentionally simple and
bell-like, supporting the
three-part harmonies.
I've also created a
B-section that is a
cappella in full
three-part singing, rich
and full giving lots of
contrast to the
piece.There is so much
good teaching throughout
the piece, making for
interesting rehearsals
and a terrific
performance piece. I hope
this adds just the right
sparkle for your
Christmas or holiday
program.—Greg
Gilpin.
