Great and Fiery Force. Composed by Michael John Trotta. Hidegard Von Bingen transcribed by Michael John Trotta. Mjts. With Standard notation. 24 pages. Duration 4 minutes, 41 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9563. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9563).

ISBN 9781491153635. UPC: 680160911134. 6.75 x 10.5 inches. Key: G minor. Latin, English. Hidegard Von Bingen transcribed by Michael John Trotta.

Trotta's composition is an energetic reimagining of timeless text and tune from the 12th century poet, composer, and philosopher Hildegard of Bingen. The marriage of the chant Caritas Abundat with a text taken from Liber Divinorum Operum (The Book of Divine Works) creates an entirely new work that expresses themes of empowerment. There is a reflective sense of the empowerment that comes from singing in a choir, especially the power of belonging to a group united for a purpose greater than oneself.
This commissioned work for womens choir is an energetic reimagining of a timeless text and tune from the twelfth-century poet, composer and philosopher Hildegard of Bingen. The text was selected as a reflection of the students' desire to express the empowerment that comes from singing in a choir, especially the power of belonging to a group united for a purpose greater than oneself. This piece marries the chant Caritas Abundat with a text taken from Liber Divinorum Operum (The Book of Divine Works), creating an entirely new work that expresses themes of empowerment. An adapted quotation of the tune is introduced in the violin, then taken up by the choir, treated to a five-part canon in the more reflective middle section, and finally changes meter for an energetic finish. I am the great and fiery force, That breathes life into all things: I am what awakens and supports life And enkindles all living things I am the great and fiery force, That breathes life into all things: Everything in the cosmos Is encircled with my wisdom. I am the beauty in the fields, The force, that moves like a graceful wind I shine in the waters, and burn in the sun, Glimmering in the stars. Caritas abundat in omnia (Grace abounds for everyone) [Liber Divinorum Operum (The Book of Divine Works), I.I.2].

The life of railroad worker in the early days of expansion was lonely, and the need for music to bolster spirits was of great importance. The character singing 900 Miles is looking forward to being reunited with his family after being separated from them for considerable time. The Wayfaring Stranger is a prominent American folk and gospel song that reflects upon the journey through life. The character in that song contemplates better times with their family in the afterlife. Both of these songs speak to the idea of searching for something beyond the current situation in which that person finds themselves. The programmatic qualities of the work are essentially tied to the main folk songa900 Milesaand they evoke the idea of where the song found its origins. Beyond that, both songs connect each of us to the sense of belonging and family that are the human experience. While the music paints a picture of someone who is alone, that is not a feeling I want for any young student in our schools today. Band is one of the few places where students can discover that sense of belonging and find a surrogate family. While band is a family that might not always get along, they can reach a shared goal through diligent work, caring and encouragement. It was a pleasure completing Lonely Travelers for longtime friend, superb musician, excellent educator and dedicated leader in music education Dennis Emert. His students debuted the work at the 2020 PMEA State Conference. I am deeply appreciative of Dennis and the friendship, encouragement and perspective he shared with me over the years teaching in the same region. The opening flute, clarinet and alto saxophone part can be performed by the entire section or as a solo at the discretion of the director. The washboard and spoon part can be doubled as players allow. I would suggest bringing these students to the front of the stage to get the sound of both instruments to the audience. As the piece develops and Wayfaring Stranger is layered with 900 Miles, please remind your ensemble to play so they can hear each other, not so they are individually heard. I thank you and your ensemble in advance as you begin this journey together in search of Lonely Travelers.
