Commission ed by the Thunder Bay Symphony Chorus, this is a creative setting of the familiar original material. There is a full orchestra accompaniment and a piano reduction which also works quite well to convey the spirit of the larger forces. The choral parts are challenging in spots where interpolations are written and the rhythm changes, but much of it is easy and fun to sing. The composer has written original music for two inner verses which provides a lovely contrast and variety to the main theme. These two verses are set to the same melody, the latter one featuring a soloist in a medium range. The overall effect is celebratory and joyful!

The piece begins with a gentle, prayerful choral statement of the “Vater unser” (Our Father, who art in heaven) text, which is then layered with a soloist singing the English text above. The piece uses texts from Gracia Grindal as well as Martin H. Franzmann.  Very creative and deeply spiritual.

The composer brings his elegant touch to three carols. The carol Each Year As the Year Grows Older (CAROL OF HOPE) is by Annabeth McClelland Gay (b. 1969) and may be unfamiliar to you, but we think you'll agree that it's worth knowing. This thoughtful and detailed writing will reward an accomplished flutist and pianist.
