Terra
Nostra focuses on the
relationship between our
planet and mankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. The
oratorio is divided into
three parts:Part I:
Creation of the World
celebrates the birth and
beauty of our planet. The
oratorio begins with
creation myths from
India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s World” by
Edna St. Vincent Millay,
which describes the world
in exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “On thine
own child” praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O voluptuous
cool-breathed earth!”
Part I ends with “A
Blade of Grass” in
which Whitman muses how
our planet has been
spinning in the heavens
for a very long time.Part
II: The Rise of Humanity
examines the achievements
of mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley Hall” sets
an auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s “Railways
1846,” William Ernest
Henley’s “A Song of
Speed,” and John
Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s
“High Flight,” each
of which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In “Binsey
Poplars,” Gerard Manley
Hopkins takes note of the
effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A Dirge”
concludes Part II with a
warning that the planet
is beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s plight,
re-establish a deeper
connection to it, and
find a balance for living
within our planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the earth’s
plea that ended the
previous section: Lord
Byron’s “Darkness”
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s “Earth
Screaming” gives voice
to the modern issues of
our changing climate; and
William Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too Much
With Us” warns us that
we are almost out of time
to change our course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell Berry’s
“The Want of Peace”
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts (“A
Child said, What is the
grass?” and “There
was a child went forth
every day”) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s “A Blade
of Grass” from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states, “I
bequeath myself to the
dirt to grow from the
grass I love…”My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her?

680160691098. The Garden
of the Finzi-Continis
novel by Giorgio
Bassani.
Based on
Bassani’s 1962 novel,
THE GARDEN OF THE
FINZI-CONTINIS dramatizes
the true story of a
prosperous Jewish
family’s disruptions
and consequences from
state-mandated
antisemitism in Italy
during World War II.
Gordon describes the
opera as “romantic,
sun-drenched, and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.” This
dramatically topical and
personal grand opera
premiered at New York
City Opera and National
Yiddish Theatre
Folksbiene to rave
reviews in 2022. Chris
Ruel wrote in OperaWire,
“I have chosen Ricky
Ian Gordon and Michael
Korie’s THE GARDEN OF
THE FINZI-CONTINIS as my
favorite opera of
2022.”. At one
point, in 2008, I was
walking down 72nd Street,
and I passed the video
store, (this is when
there were video stores)
and I thought to myself,
I wonder if Kevin (my
partner) has ever seen
The Garden of the
Finzi-Continis? which was
always one of my favorite
movies. My reaction when
we watched it that night
was unlike any other time
I had seen it. I was
wrenched, sobbing,
inconsolable. My heart
felt like the autumn
leaves we see blowing
through the garden at the
end of the movie. It
seemed immediately that
this had to be my next
opera. I called Michael
Korie, and we both bought
the Bassani novel and
read it. We settled on
it. It felt clear that we
both had a collective
story to tell through
it.Because this opera is
so close to both of our
hearts, it is dedicated
to our fathers.It is not
only that The Garden of
the Finzi-Continis is a
Holocaust story that
makes it so resonant for
me, though obviously this
is no small matter, but
the tragedy of people
trying to live their
lives, or actually living
them, their petty
disappointments, their
heartbreaks, against the
backdrop of total
catastrophe… that makes
it so moving. They cannot
possibly imagine what
will befall them, but we
know… and this makes
their every move
fascinating and
devastating… like
watching moths under a
glass. It is romantic,
sun-drenched and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.This is why I
had to write it.

A
New World is a
musical story across five
movements with texts by
authors from Cicero and
Ovid to George William
Russel; from nursery
rhymes to war
poets.
The music
and texts link to form a
narrative that questions
what sort of ?New Worlds?
have come into existence,
or could be created in
our future, and considers
how we balance human
traits of fear,
displacement, isolation
and conflict with equally
human traits of love,
hope, forgiveness and
unity.
1. On
History
An
opening movement for SATB
choir, piano and timpani
(with solos for soprano,
tenor and alto). A calm
opening leads to a
dramatic conclusion with
text by Cicero and Ovid
in praise and recognition
of their
homeland.

Commission
ed by the San Francisco
Choral Society and the
Piedmont East Bay
Children’s Choir,
Terra Nostra is a
70-minute oratorio on the
relationship between our
planet and humankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. Part
I: Creation of the World
explores various creation
myths from different
cultures, culminating in
a joyous celebration of
the beauty of our planet.
Part II: The Rise of
Humanity examines human
achievements,
particularly since the
dawn of our Industrial
Age, and how these
achievements have
impacted the planet. Part
III: Searching for
Balance questions how to
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s

the complete oratorio,
stand-alone movements for
mixed chorus, and for
solo voice with piano,
are also available
separately. Terra

The call to
spread the good news of
the Gospel echoes through
the centuries directly
from the Savior. Jesus
had a unique worldview
because He was the first
born over all creation;
everything was created by
Him and for Him. He chose
the time and place of His
appearing on Earth. He
became the physical
manifestation of God's
love. His example and
teaching changed the
course of history - His
sacrifice and
Resurrection changed the
course of eternity.The
earthly ministry of the
Master was coming to an
end - the ministry of
sharing His message was
just beginning. However,
He promised to be with us
- even to the end of the
age. This work is a
celebration of the call
to serve - a challenge to
see the responsibility of
missions in a new Light -
and a charge to surround
those that surrender
their lives to the task
of the Great Commission
to go INTO ALL THE WORLD.
Because of the saints
that have come before -
because of the sacrifice
of those who continue to
support missions around
the world - because of
those who still answer
the call - and because of
being blessed and
empowered by the Holy
Spirit, the name of Jesus
is lifted across the
globe - AND THE SUN NEVER
SETS ON THE PRAISES OF
THE LORD!

special thanks to the Ed

their unwavering support.
Performance Notes This
lighthearted piece is a
great way to bring
multiple choirs together
in harmony. It may be
sung by a single SATB
choir, though it is
intended to be performed
by multiple choirs of
varying age levels. Song
of the Sound was written
for an all-district
feeder festival piece for
combined elementary,
middle level, and high
school choirs. Here is a
suggested outline for
combining multiple
choirs: Rehearsal Letters
A to B: Elementary choir
only (two-part, Soprano,
Alto) Rehearsal Letter B:
add Middle Level Soprano,
Alto with Elementary
choir Rehearsal Letter C:
Middle Level choir only
Rehearsal Letter D: High
School choir only
Rehearsal Letter E to the
end: Everyone! Song of
the Sound: Running on the
beach, digging in the
sand, Seaweed in my toes,
bucket in my hand. When
I'm at the shore, way
above the rest, These are
all the things that I
love the best. Skipping
like a stone on the
water, diving deep in the
silvery foam, Swimming
far where the land cannot
hold us, where the
lighthouse calls us home.
Flying free above the
marshes, soaring high
above the sea, Where the
tern and cormorant and
plover call to lands we
cannot see.Come let us go
to the water, let us go
to the singing shore:
Where the gentle breezes
whisper and the mighty
breakers roar. We will
look to the shining
ocean, to the East, where
the new day dawned: We
will sing a song of the
edge of the world and the

piece was commissioned by
Kevin Scully, Director of
Creative Arts, for the
Port Washington School
District, New York, with
special thanks to the Ed
Foundation and HEARTS for
their unwavering
support.Performance
NotesThis lighthearted
piece is a great way to
bring multiple choirs
together in harmony. It
may be sung by a single
SATB choir, though it is
intended to be performed
by multiple choirs of
varying age levels. Song
of the Sound was written
for an all-district
feeder festival piece for
combined elementary,
middle level, and high
school choirs. Here is a
suggested outline for
combining multiple
choirs:Rehearsal Letters

Letter E to the end:
Everyone!Song of the
Sound:Running on the
beach, digging in the
sand,Seaweed in my toes,
bucket in my hand.When
I'm at the shore, way
above the rest,These are
all the things that I
love the
best. Skipping like a
stone on the water,
diving deep in the
silvery foam,Swimming far
where the land cannot
hold us, where the
lighthouse calls us
home.Flying free above
the marshes, soaring high
above the sea,Where the
tern and cormorant and
plover call to lands we
cannot see.Come let us go
to the water, let us go
to the singing
shore:Where the gentle
breezes whisper and the
mighty breakers roar.We
will look to the shining
ocean, to the East, where
the new day dawned:We
will sing a song of the
edge of the world and the
waiting sky beyond.-Poem

The world
premiere of A New
Commandment , a piece by
the late Sir John Tavener
specially commissioned
for Summer Fields, was in
February 2014 at the
Sheldonian Theatre,
Oxford. This work was
possibly one of his very
last commissions before
his sudden and untimely
death in November 2013.
COMPOSER'S NOTE I have
set these words from St
John's Gospel many times,
because I feel them to be
among the most profound
and therefore key texts
in the Christian faith.
This setting falls into
three sections with an
ABA structure. A New
Commandment is dedicated
to my mother-in-law Mary,
but it is also an
unspoken tribute to the
Spanish master Victoria
who has inspired
methroughout my
life..

Isthmus denotes
a narrow strip of land
with sea on either side,
forming a link between
two larger ars of land.
The title is a metaphor
for an effort to bond
artistically my
experiences of living in
Cyprus, my birthplace,
and in the USA, my
recently adopted
homeland. Having lived in
a small, partitioned
island for my formative
years and in England for
eleven years, water has
always had a double
meaning: it has at once
served as a gateway to
other cultures but also
as a border, a violent
and absolute interruption
of a continuum. While in
the USA, or indeed in a
now connected Europe, it
is possible to travel on
land for days without
having to encounter a
border, in the countries
where I lived for most of
my life, that was not
possible. As an artist,
this notion of
establishing boundaries
and consciously trying to
break them is very close
to me, as my music deals
both with modernity but
also with tradition and,
similarly, with metaphor
and reality. As a
Cypriot, the sea, the
world of antiquity, the
mysteries of the oracles,
the notion of borders and
the pastoral are all very
central to my way of
thinking. In Cyprus,
different layers of
history are frequently
superimposed on a single
building that might still
preserve its Roman,
Byzantine, Venetian and
Ottoman features in its
layers of stone and
architecture. Similarly,
ancient ruins or the
barbed wire of modern
conflict often interrupt
placid fields. An
isthmus, therefore, can
be seen to symbolize my
artistic struggle to join
strikingly different
experiences and notions
in a cohesive way.
Similar to an isthmus, in
this short piece, I
connect these experiences
with the purpose of
creating a distinct and
unique sonic context,
connecting technology and
tradition, the pastoral
with the urban, the
musical with the
extra-musical and the
abstract with the
concrete. For example,
the choir does not always
sing in the traditional
sense, but the singers
imitate various natural
sounds, such as water,
air, crickets or birds,
to create a vivid visual
impression for the work.
Scandinavian herding
calls blend with field
recordings from the seas
of Cyprus and the lakes
of Upstate New York,
communicated within
clearly defined, singular
acoustic sources and
spaces through wireless
speakers. The text used
is both onomatopoeic,
articulating an imaginary
language, but also
literal, with a setting
of the poem, “To make a
prairie” by the iconic
American poet Emily
Dickinson and a tiny
fragment from
Callimachus’ “Hymn to
Demeter.” Technology is
used sparsely and very
intentionally to
articulate the expressive
qualities of pastoral
imagery, creating one
unified synthetic timbre
with the choristers’
sounds. This piece is
dedicated to the
wonderful singers of the
Georgia Institute of
Technology Chamber Choir
with special thanks to
Professors Hsu and
Ulrich, without whose
support this composition
would not have been
possible. Practical
notes: A choir of no
less than 24 singers is
sought with 4 additional
soloists (2 Sopranos and
2 Altos). Each singer
must have their own
wireless speaker, secured
either in the music
folder or as a strap
inside their shirts. All
sounds must match in
volume the sound from the
speakers, creating one
unified timbre. The
speakers should not be
noticeable to the public.
The four soloists are
placed offstage at the
beginning of the work.
From 1:35’ onwards they
enter the hall and take
their positions, ideally
at the four corners of
the hall. If the hall is
too large, the singers
can find alternate
positions, but these
should always be
antiphonal. The four
soloists sing
predominantly in the
“kulning” style and
the antiphonal aspect is
very important to the
work. There are two sound
files for each section
(SATB) that are triggered
by each singer’s mobile
device. The first occurs
at the start of the
piece, and the second,
about a minute before the
end. The sound files are
able to be purchased
separately, on CD, or are
available directly from
UYMP.

The
haunting words reach to
us from antiquity.“The
Lord Jesus, on the night
He was betrayed, took
bread, and when He had
given thanks, He broke it
and said, 'This is My
body, which is for you;
do this in remembrance of
Me.' In the same way,
after supper He took the
cup, saying, 'This cup is
the new covenant in My
blood; do this, whenever
you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.' For
whenever you eat this
bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord's
death until He comes.”
- I Corinthians
11:23-26Remember.
Remember. As commanded,
the Israelites have
retold the story of the
faithfulness of their God
for centuries. They have
recounted how the blood
of the lamb protected
them from the angel of
death. The world is on
the brink of eternal
change now, because it is
Jesus, the Christ who is
saying remember. Remember
the things I taught you,
remember the trials and
the triumphs, remember
the promises and the
prayers, remember the
bread and the wine. God
will reclaim His people
and it will be forever
inscribed on their
hearts, sealed by the
Master, in His own blood.
Remember. Once you
encounter the Master, how
could you ever
forget?
