The Night Will Shine as Day was commissioned by the Bedford Junior High Treble Choir under the direction of Hannah Ware in 2022. Composed with a spirit of perseverance and hopefulness, the text (paraphrased from Psalm 139) shares a message to have faith even during the darkest days, and a reminder that a light will always shine through the darkness if we have the courage to see it.Featuring a flowing piano accompaniment and lyrical (optional) horn solo, this piece was written with an equal relationship between the major mode and the minor mode (as demonstrated by the alternating piano harmonies, neither chord revealing a clear tonality.) This tonal obscurity represents the relationship between dark and light: a somewhat codependent relationship through which the melody struggles to find stability. As the understated chorus reveals and repeats the core message of the text, the melody gains confidence in its role among struggle between light and dark. The piece concludes with a final triumph of light over dark, this time with harmonic clarity and hopefulness for the future.  .

Medle y of sacred hymn tunes This engaging and contrasting medley pays tribute to the Sacresd Harp hymnal with its opening treatment in a minor key, before transitioning to a lively major key.

...from the author of The Musician’s Soul In The Musician’s Soul, author James Jordan sets readers on a journey beyond the precise techniques of artistry and into a place of selfexploration, where music can be created with new heartfelt honesty and beauty. With The Musician’s Spirit, a companion book to The Musician’s Soul, and The Musician’s Walk, Jordan takes us to the next level of creating a more powerful art form. The Musician’s Spirit focuses not on the self, but on others and the stories each artist is able to share through his or her work. Using thought-provoking quotations, real-life stories, and visual art, Jordan challenges all artists to share themselves with their audience and fellow artists, thereby creating a more personal and beautiful body of work. This book offers practical and inspirational words on courage and vision, the arts of listening and trust, conquering the fear of looking foolish, and the importance of story in teaching. Jordan also includes a Storying Guide to help the reader bring out his or her own story as well as space for personal notes, stories, and reflections. Though written with musicians in mind, this beautiful illustrated book offers tremendous insight for any artist wanting to share his or her vision and story with the world. “Although written for musicians, this stunningly crafted book offers tremendous insight for any artist wanting to share their story and gifts with others.” “Communicating music is not academic, nor is Jordan’s book. The Musician’s Spirit is a guide to help us step out and experience music in the right place.” — Thomas R. Vozzella (Choral Journal, Volume 44, Number 9)   Those of us who have studied with inspiring teachers know how we looked forward to each lesson. The Musician’s Spirit opens such doors again, and reminds us why we are musicians. — Kathleen Thomerson (The American Organist, November 2004).
