Edmu nd Jolliffe's setting of the communion antiphon for the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass may be sung to equally powerful effect either liturgically, or as the focus of a collective expression of remembrance, or as a moving addition to any choral concert programme. From the opening revelation of eternal light the music moves steadily through hushed litanies and invocations to a resounding climax. A contemporary tonality of richly annotated chords illuminates these traditional words with a modern sound and sense. This is a piece that singers will enjoy for its discipline of sustained lines and beautifully balanced sonorities no less than for its eloquent statement of an eternal hope.

Imaginative and wonderful are the words that best describe this selection. The poet asks, who will read his words many years hence and what will the impact be? The music carries the words like a well-written story, and the listener is brought into the narrative. It is a masterful piece for an advanced high school or college choir.

New to the Carl Fischer family, Abeni Janae (b. 2001) brings a fresh voice in her arrangement of this wonderfully rich African American spiritual. Accessible for mixed choirs of all sizes and abilities, there is pathos and passion in every phrase.
Keep in mind what this spiritual text represents, especially if you can relate to it on a personal level. Since it is a traditional spiritual, it is important to use appropriate pronunciations. That means it is acceptable not to pronounce some of the words the way we normally would in American English. For example: Do not pronounce the “t” in “little” too much, opting to pronounce it closer to “liddle.” Do not pronounce the “-er” in “longer” too much, opting to pronounce it as “lon-guh.” Whether or not the choir sings with much or minimal vibrato is at the discretion of the conductor/director.Mostly , have fun singing this piece!If you have any further questions about the background of this piece or anything of the sort, feel free to contact me at missabenijanae@gmail.com.
