Highly recommend!.
This piece incorporates the Introit from the Requiem in the Liber Usualis in the men's voices using the text by E. E. Cummings. The women's voices have original music that soars gracefully about the plainsong. The middle section features the Requiem text, set simply in a homophonic style. The final section blends the two styles into a prayer of thanks and remembrance. This beloved E.E. Cummings text was commissioned in honor and loving memory of Dr. Ferris Ohl (1914-2017) in thanks for over four decades of service to the Heidelberg University Music department. Director of Choral Activities Dr. Greg Ramsdell sought to pay tribute to the rich legacy of Dr. Ohl by having a setting of the text that broadened the scope of the message i carry your heart to include those who have come before us and who live on in our song.   INSERT GRAPHIC HERE - I e mailed you on 5-14.

ISBN 9781705180938. UPC: 196288106890. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches.

Bruce Tippette's setting of the Johnson poem is gentle and graceful, capturing the music-themed text. The piano accompaniment is supportive yet has an orchestral quality that moves with the dynamic vocal contrasts and melodic phrases. “No nights are dark, no days are long, while in my heart there dwells a song I softly sing.”.
