These three art songs can
be performed
independently or in
sequence, at any time of
the year. Stuart
McAlpine’s
profound text explores
three men from the
Christmas story, Joseph,
the Inn-keeper, and
Simeon. The creative and
beautiful musical
settings allow for
powerfully dramatic
interpretation and
performance. To Joseph
(who taught me how to
look at art) The singer
sings to Joseph,
…you beheld a work
of art, the making of a
holy heart… and
watching through
Joseph’s eyes,
when hung at last, its
meaning was decreed.
(4:40) The
Inn-keeper’s
Lament McAlpine
brilliantly explores the
possibility…what if
the inn-keeper who turned
away Mary & Joseph later
became the inn-keeper who
accepted the injured man
brought in by the Good
Samaritan? This
powerfully dramatic piece
depicts the Bethlehem
inn-keeper’s
bravado, Caeser’s
decree was heaven sent,
as guests raised glasses,
I raised rent! But as the
enormity of his mistake
became apparent, in later
years he bemoans,
…if I’d
known then what I know
now… and finally
declares at the end, I
know now! (7:50)
Simeon’s Last
Prayer Simeon sings of
being summoned to the
temple where he holds his
infant Savior.
…then as
grandfathers do, rejoiced
as if he were my
one-and-only too. As he
leaves he whispers his
final prayer,
…dismiss your
servant, to find You
face-to-face. (4:30)
