Ubi Caritas Douglas Pew
Doreen Rao’s
PROGRAM NOTES
ABOUT THE COMPOSER
In contemplating the setting of this beautiful text about charity and the love of God, I thought it would be appropriate to create a setting for high voices. In my mind, the elevated tessitura creates images of celestial bodies and celestial spheres where I believe this type of love exists in its full capacity. My hope was to create a work that would depict my experience and feelings about the role of a religious disciple in reciprocating the charity and love of God.
Douglas Pew received his undergraduate degree in Piano and Composition from Brigham Young University-Idaho. During his undergraduate years, he participated in several ensembles as a choral singer, harpsichordist, double bassist, guitarist, pianist, and conductor. He worked as a sopyist and orchestrator for the composition faculty and guest composers. After receiving his baccalaureate degree, he was hired at BYU-Idaho as a professor of Music Theory and Ear Training. During his time there as both a student and faculty member, numerous pieces for varied ensembles were performed.
TEXT Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Douglas has received recognition for his work as a composer from ASCAP (Morton Gould, Frederick Fennel and others). He has participated in Master Classes with John Adams and Martin Bresnick and he is currently finishing his DMA in composition at the University of CincinnatiCollege Conservatory of Music.
TRANSLATION
CME In High Voice
Where charity and lover are, God is there. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with sincere heart. Where charity and love are, God is there.
Especially for women, In High Voice features an innovative and expressive repertoire for high school, collegiate and community women’s choirs.
