Three
Sound-Poems after
Paintings by Andreas
Willscher (2017) are
dedicated to organist
Philip Hartmann and the
art-loving community of
the Pauluskirche in Ulm,
Germany. The music is
inspired by three
paintings by German
composer (and artist)
Andreas Willscher (b.
1955). The pieces take
their musical shapes and
colors from the specific
details of the paintings.
The three paintings
represent different
styles: a landscape, a
religious theme, and an
abstract. The first
movement, Sonnenfeld (Sun
Field), is inspired by a
bright painting of the
sun illuminating the
green field behind the
composer's small house in
Sainte-Radegonde
(Dordogne/Perigord,
France). A resplendent
and majestic section of
full sun harmonies
surrounds a middle
section with more motion.
The second movement,
Gebet des Hl. Franziskus
(Prayer of St. Francis),
is inspired by a painting
showing St. Francis of
Assisi in prayer. Francis
has been a frequent theme
in Willscher's music
since his appointment at
a young age as organist
of St. Francis Church in
Hamburg. The third
movement, Laetare
(Rejoice), is inspired by
an vibrant abstract
painting comprised of
bold colors. The
alternation of the blocks
of rich color are
mirrored in the block
harmonic shifts in the
movement, which is a moto
perpetuo, building
towards the organ's
fullest sounds.

major. English. Alfred,
Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892). The
beauty in Alfred, Lord
Tennysons poem is
reflected by the music
with the use of text
painting. The piano
creates the sound of
moving water in m. 19,
providing the first
instance of text
painting. When the men
enter, they continue this
idea of the ocean tide
while the descent into
the word deep in m. 27
gives another instance of
text painting. Take
advantage of the minor
second suspension on the
word dark in m. 38 in
order to achieve a
feeling of suspense. The
entrance at m. 41 is
full, and while still
minor, the text gives us
hope for a change. The
change comes in m. 45
with the staggered
entrances creating a
sense of building and
ascent until the climax
of this moment at m. 47
on the word embark, which
is to be an ascent to
Heaven. The melody moves
between voice parts, even
as early as m. 14 where
the altos have the melody
for only a single
measure; it is then
handed back to the
sopranos. From mm. 5764,
the altos trade the
melody back and forth
with the sopranos. Take
note that the alto melody
should be brought out,
but the line does not
actually begin until the
word when. Lastly, be
intentional with syllabic
stress (no two eighth
notes or quarter notes
alike) and to give
direction to any note
longer than a quarter. I
hope you enjoy learning
and performing
Crossing the Bar
as much as I enjoyed
writing it. ~Jamey

text of Alfred, Lord

Sweet Music Here is
a wonderful example of
word painting. Keep this
in mind while learning to
sing the music and try to
capture the different
scenes created through
these famous words. The

accompaniment outline the

vocals cascade gently
into a dissonance that

piano to support the
unison lines in mm. 1417
as well as those that
contain three-part
singing. The piano
establishes a consistent
undulating tempo in mm.
2225, as if lulling
someone to sleep. Be
intentional with
word/syllabic stress when
singing through the
quarter notes. Maintain a
consistent tempo when
singing the eighth notes
in mm. 3336. The chord
progression helps
establish the coolness of
the mosses and ivies.
Notice the melodic
movement in mm. 3738
reflecting the craggy
ledge and hanging poppy
followed by the unison
sleep which ushers in the
return of the original
melody within the
accompaniment. Linger

Medieval Carol. The
text of this poem is from
the Trinity Carol Roll,
an English manuscript
housed at the Wren
Library of Trinity
College, Cambridge. It is
originally in the Norfolk
dialect of Middle English
but has been modernized
for use in this setting.
Also, it's macaronic,
meaning it combines words
from two languages, the
other being Latin which
was in use by the church
when this carol was
written. The Latin
phrases come from
different parts of the
Advent/Christmas
liturgies; a sequence
called
Laetabundus, the
title of an Introit
antiphon called
Gaudeamus, and
the shepherds response in
the gospel of Luke 2:15,
Transeamus.

does the music which
starts in unison for each
verse and expands outward
into two and three vocal
lines with increasingly
complex harmonic twists.
Word painting is employed
in several places but
none are as important as
the dramatic climax in
the fourth verse where
the shepherds along with
all the angels in heaven
proclaim Gloria in
excelsis Deo (Glory to
God on high). What a
sound that must be! On
these words the music
reaches it loudest point
as the sopranos rise to
their highest note and
the compass--the distance
between the highest and
lowest note--is at its
widest. The setting is
brought to a close as the
five Latin phrases that
finished each verse are
repeated as a coda and
musically summarize the
five verses of the
carol. The text of
this poem is from the
Trinity Carol Roll, an
English manuscript housed
at the Wren Library of
Trinity College,
Cambridge. It is
originally in the Norfolk
dialect of Middle English
but has been modernized
for use in this setting.
Also, it's macaronic,
meaning it combines words
from two languages, the
other being Latin which
was in use by the church
when this carol was
written.The Latin phrases
come from different parts
of the Advent/Christmas
liturgies; a sequence
called Laetabundus, the
title of an Introit
antiphon called
Gaudeamus, and the
shepherd’s response in
the gospel of Luke 2:15,
Transeamus.Latin phrase

compares the Virgin Mary
to a rose. She has a
special place among all
women in being chosen as
the mother of Jesus, and
likewise the rose has a
special place among all
flowers surpassing them
in complexity and
beauty.The music in this
setting mimics the petals
of a rose as it blooms.
Imagine the petals
unfurling over time as
does the music which
starts in unison for each
verse and expands outward
into two and three vocal

complex harmonic
