Veteran choral composer
Jay Althouse constructed
this very special work in
remembrance of lives lost
during the pandemic. His
setting of the
traditional Latin text is
built upon a melody
inspired by nature: Near
the end of my walk that
day, I heard a bird
singing three notes over
and over again. I came
home and began writing.
The bird's song is the
first three notes of the
opening melody. Solemn,
prayerful, and
poignant.

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?

I finished
Psalm 23 Dominus regit me
(The Lord Is My
Shepherd), which inspired
me musically, in 2013.
This prayer of praise,
being a radical act of
trust in God, as Pope
Benedict XVI once said,
complements Credo in unum
Deum. I was particularly
moved by the personal
tone of the Psalm author
and by the landscape of
life symbols that he
painted. The psalmist,
describing ancient
nomads, compares God to a
shepherd taking care of
his flock. It is a
hopeful metaphor of a
journey in the future
with kind and loving God
as a guide - 'Even though
I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I
fear no evil, for You are
with me.' By interpreting
the text with music, I
wanted to avoid emotional
directness, and to
present the 'trust' in a
contemplative way, as if
it were a kind of a
prayer - meditation.

Rokicka.

Program
note:
Looking Up
is a piece for large
chorus and orchestra, and
is in three sections,
played without pause. In
the 16th century, a
variety of psalters in
meter were printed in
England, with the idea of
making psalm-singing
something that could
happen easily at home,
with the rhyming meter
being an aid to
memorization. These
translations are
wonderful exercises in
brevity and sometimes
clumsy rhymemaking, and
were usually prefaced by
a lengthy explanation as
to their merits; the
title of one of the first
such volumes in English
is: The Psalter of Dauid
newely translated into
Englysh metre in such
sort that it maye the
more decently, and wyth
more delyte of the mynde,
be reade and songe of al
men. I thought it would
be appropriate to set one
of these introductions,
and the first section of
Looking Up sets the
preface to Thomas
Ravenscroft's psalter
(1621), in which he
writes: “The
singing of Psalmes (assay
the Doctors) comforteth
the sorrowfull, pacifieth
the angry, strengtheneth
the weake, humbleth the
proud, gladdeth the
humble, stirres up the
slow, reconcileth
enemies, lifteth up the
heart to heavenly things,
and uniteth the Creature
to his
Creator.”
It
begins meditatively, but
eventually grows agitated
and fervent, with a
vision of the
“quire of Angels
and Saints”
“redoubling
anddescanting” - an
ecstatic and terrifying
vision of the skies
opening up. Ravenscroft
then encourages the use
of instrumental musicfor
worship, at which point,
a long, acrobatic
orchestral interlude with
jagged edges antagonizes
the choir, who sing a
kind of private, anxious
meditation on two
pitches.
One of
the most delicious
biblical texts is an
Apocryphal prayer known
as the Benedicite or the
Prayer of the Three
Children (the same who
were rescued by an angel
after King Nebuchadnezzar
tried to have them burnt
in an oven for not bowing
to his image). The text
is repetitive, obsessive,
and a gift to composers -
each line is an
invocation of an element
of the natural world,
followed by the phrase,
“blesse ye the
Lord, praise him &
magnify him for
ever.” In Looking
Up, the setting begins
with three solo voices,
and then grows to include
the whole choir,
itemizing the whole of
creation. The idea that
these boys are spared
from the furnace and then
five minutes later are
saying, “O ye the
fire and warming heate,
blesse ye the
Lord...” has always
felt very loaded to me,
and the orchestra plays
with this conflict
between joyful praise and
a more terrible (in the
16th-century sense)
awefor the
divine.
The text
for the third, and
shortest, section is
taken from Christopher
Smart's (1722-1771) A
Song to David,
purportedly written
during his confinement in
a mental asylum. This ode
to King David points out
how David, as the author
of some of the Psalms,
observes the whole world
from the
“clustering
spheres” to the
“nosegay in the
vale.&rdquo.

Stearns'
energetic setting of this
15th century text
provides a great match of
choral and organ
textures. This anthem
would be an ideal work to
start off the fall choir
season. In the words of
the composer, I am
responding to the text-
always the text and what
it illicits from my 60
year old reservoir of
musical ideas. These many
sacred choral works of
mine are simply my
response to the text I
have chosen, combined
with a long lifetime of
prayer..

Scripture:
Psalms.
The Te Deum
is a hymn of
thanksgiving, and in the
Liber Usualis it is the
first such hymn listed.
The text is a composite,
with some original words
and some quoted directly
from the psalms. One of
the most obvious
stylistic factors of the
prayer is that each line
begins, almost without
exception in the
invocation part of the
prayer, with some form of
second-person address.
This piece is designed to
be performed by small or
large forces. It may be
performed with as few as
12 to 16 singers, 1 each
of the Double Reeds and
Strings, 1 Organist and 1
Percussionist. If large
forces are employed, the
number of
instrumentalists should
be increased to maintain
a proportionate balance,
i.e., the orchestra
should never overshadow
the chorus. The dynamics
used by the Organist and
Percussionist(s) must
always be relative to the
size of the ensemble as
well. In this connection,
for a large ensemble, use
plate cymbals instead of
suspended cymbal (2
percussionists will be
required). At the
discretion of the
conductor, plate cymbals
may be employed where
appropriate for the
somewhat smaller
ensembles.
