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?

Aaron
Humble's arrangement of
this beloved old favorite
from American hymnody is
appropriate for both
school and church. With
soaring obligato lines
and shimmering harmony,
when sung with a warm and
gentle tone,?The Sweet By
and By?is certain to
paint a picture of a
better time for us all to
look forward. Also
available for SATB Voices
(CM9572). I have great
memories of my family
gathering around the
piano to sing hymns. As
my sister and I learned
more about music through
lessons, band and choir,
we started adding harmony
and really making music.
The old American hymnody
really holds a special
place in my heart.
Webster set Bennett's
text in a time when
American theology had
taken a turn away from
earlier ideas where God
was a god of vengeance
and anger. With this in
mind, this arrangement
should be sung with a
warm and gentle tone
allowing the dissonances
to shimmer, the sweetness
of the harmonies to
bloom, and the obbligato
lines to soar.

yields to the stirring

This arrangement delivers
the spirit and truth of

and offers some subtle

Glorious
Hill may be performed by
a male choir.Text by Pico
della Mirandola
(1463-1497) from De
Hominis
Dignitate.Glorious Hill
was commissioned by the
Hilliard Ensemble and
first performed by them
at its summer Festival of
Voices in Lewes, Sussex,
in August 1988. It was
the first piece I wrote
for the ensemble and I
focused on the singers'
unique ability to move
with ease from early
music to tonal music of
the present day. There
were techniques which I
asked for which I hardly
needed to notate - the
staggered breathing of
the two tenors to supply
a continuous unbroken
held note for example -
and the piece moves
between passages for solo
voices and sections of
highly chromatic
homophony, almost as if
the music were switching
between the 12th century
of Perotin and the 16th
century of Gesualdo. Each
of the four voices is
given its own solo
passage, sometimes
accompanied, sometimes
quietly supported by the
other voices.The title,
Glorious Hill comes from
the name of the
small-town Mississippi
setting of Tennessee
Williams' Summer and
Smoke. I wrote the music
for the 1987 production
of this play at the
Leicester Haymarket
Theatre, the first time I
had written any
incidental music for the
stage. Williams makes
very specific demands in
terms of music and there
is one particularly
powerful scene, the
penultimate one,
throughout which music
and atmospheric sound
effects are continuous.
The principle character
Alma argues passionately
about the vital
importance of human
choice with the man to
whom she has, too late,
admitted her love. I
watched this section
every night throughout
the 4 week run of the
play watching the
different ways in which
the actress, Frances
Barber, played the scene.
There is a powerful
emotional and
philosophical connection
between the imagery of
this scene and a passage
from the Renaissance
philosopher Pico della
Mirandola's Oration on
the Dignity of Man which
forms the text of
Glorious Hill. This
passage has been
described as one of the
few passages in
Renaissance philosophy to
treat human freedom in a
modern way. The text,
which is sung in Latin,
is addressed by God to
Adam before the fall from
grace.Gavin Bryars.
