Brand New Books and Resources The Church Year in Limericks

Vox Humana

Christopher M. Brunelle “The Church Year in Limericks is the result of my desire to start choir rehearsals in a new way. Some choir directors simply launch in, others start with an announcement or a short prayer; I wanted to find something that would engage the choir’s attention, provide a comment on the day’s music or the week’s activities, and set a creative challenge for myself. Like an Advent calendar or a box of chocolates, The Church Year in Limericks is not meant to be enjoyed all at once. Each stanza exists on its own, and reading the entire collection straight through diminishes the individuality of its separate parts. Think of this book instead as a sort of hymnal, in which all the hymns happen to be written in the same meter but each one serves a different purpose in worship: contemplation, inspiration, insight, comfort, joy. Yes, there is perhaps a higher quotient of lively word play here than in a regular hymnal, but that’s all the more reason to appreciate each limerick for itself.” —Christopher M. Brunelle Paperback. 98 pages.

Let Praises Ring, Volume 3

Essays about the World of the Pipe Organ and Those Who Play It Haig Mardirosian Vox Humana was veteran organist Haig Mardirosian’s column in THE AMERICAN ORGANIST, the official journal of the American Guild of Organists as well as the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America, which ran monthly for exactly a decade. Appearing in an annotated collection for the first time here, Mardirosian creates an image encompassing both the breadth and depth of the instrument and profession through humor, memory, business, liturgy, and, of course, artistry. This reflection of the organ and those who play it is an essential read for those searching for perspective or new ideas, as well as those looking for understanding, nostalgia, or a bit of humor. Paperback. 152 pages.

All Await

SATB Chorus and Organ All Await was commissioned by Trinity Presbyterian Church, Berwyn, Pennsylvania, in celebration of the church’s 150th anniversary. Nancy Gifford was asked to compose a celebratory piece for this occasion based on an Advent theme. The text was inspired by a fourth-century hymn of St. Ambrose of Milan, Veni, Redemptor gentium. In this context, All Await echoes elements of traditional western sacred music while using today’s language. Repetition and reinvention of these musical ideas follow, with marked contrasts in texture, dynamics, articulation, and expression. Short organ interludes occur throughout the piece, introducing new sections of choral music. This work ends with a short coda, closing with the words “All await,” sung by the chorus three times and answered by the organ. Duration: 3:30 Moderately Easy

As requested, I incorporated the Catalan carol, El Noi de la Mare, which is also famous as a guitar solo.

As the title suggests, Funky Dreidl revisits the melody of I Had a Little Dreidl in an 80’s funk style. The four Hebrew letters on the dreidl (Nun, Gimmel, Hei, and Shin) are generally reinterpreted for Chanukah as “Neis gadol hayah sham” (a great miracle happened here). That Hebrew phrase recurs throughout the piece as bookends around the traditional English text. Duration: 3:30 Medium

Work to make sure that the music maintains an air of ‘dance’ to it. To help with this, you may consider adding an ad libitum hand drum…the second verse allows …the flute becomes a partner in the storytelling as the crying voice, warning cry, rising valleys, and bowing hills.” —Michael Culloton.

A Whitman Triptych

Prayer at Winter Solstice

I. O Setting Sun

TTBB Chorus (divisi) unaccompanied Dana Gioia’s prayer in the manner of The Beatitudes touches upon some uncommon ideas for recepients of blessings. Robert Schuneman’s setting for male chorus is mostly homophonic and hymn-like, but it also includes passages that are chant-like and polyphonic with thinner choral textures for the sake of contrast. Each blessing receives its own musical treatment and has its own mood. Duration: 3:40 Medium

Baritone Solo, SATB Chorus unaccompanied “Based on a text adapted from Walt Whitman’s much longer poem Song at Sunset... The baritone soloist acts as narrator, singing noble recitatives praising the sun and the hour of its setting, supported by commentaries in the chorus. A central section is fast and rhythmic with many changing time signatures. After a return of the baritone soloist, the final section’s music is both serene and reverent, as ‘Nature continues, glory continues; O setting sun!’”—David Conte.

II. What Is the Grass? Tenor Solo, SATB Chorus unaccompanied “An adaptation of a much longer poem...my musical setting follows Whitman’s exploration: first taking a child’s point of view, expressed with lilting melodies set in a lively compound meter. Then, the entry of the tenor soloist indicates a change of mood to the serious. Next, the first mood returns, leading to a climax on the words ‘And led forward life…,’ set in nine-part harmony. The mood turns reverent, as the tenor soloist intones the words, ‘All goes onward and outward; nothing collapses.’ The piece ends with a tone of gentle, slightly ironic questioning.”—David Conte. Duration: 4:30 Moderately Difficult

SATB Chorus (divisi) unaccompanied Commissioned by Betsy Cook Weber and the University of Houston Moores School of Music Concert Chorale, for a premiere at the 2011 Florilège Vocal de Tours, France.

In his poem, Whitman strikes notes of reflection, of longing for adventure, and ultimately ends with a question....”—David Conte. Duration: 4:00 Moderately Difficult

OTTORINO RESPIGHI TRANS. KEVIN UPPERCUE

Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite No. 1 A transcription of the first suite to one of Respighi’s most famous and much-beloved works. The orchestral suite itself is a transcription of sixteenth-century lute works, of which Respighi also transcribed for piano 2- and 4-hands. The transcriber of this edition used the orchestral setting in order to match the orchestral instruments to their corresponding organ stops with as much accuracy as possible. The transciption is idiomatic and a delight to play. The first three movements are accessible while the fourth will require more practice time. The movements could be performed alone or with one another and would give an audience a unique and pleasant concert experience. Duration: 15:00 Medium

FEATURED AT 2016 AGO

Hommage à Francis Poulenc Alto Saxophone and Organ “With the contrasting and complimentary ingredients of both piety and playfulness thoughtfully put in place, it is the intent of Rêverie to conjure the heart of Poulenc’s musical form. Rêverie is a work that combines harmonic inventiveness, melodic poignancy and rhythms sprinkled with mischievous pulses. While the work does pay homage to the master with reverence, it simultaneously summons a fresh, new perspective of these old, familiar forms—these ‘ships’ of our pasts. With that said, perhaps it is best to let Stravinsky take the helm: ‘[But] the true work of an artist is to improve upon old ships. He can only recount in his own way what has already been told.’”—Luke Mayernik Includes score and Alto Saxophone part. Duration: 6:30 Moderately Difficult

Crossings

Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals

Meditations for Worship

Eileen Guenther

Susan Palo Cherwien

This groundbreaking study of slavery and spirituals is the first to place the unique voices of an enslaved people squarely within the context of their daily lives. Dr. Guenther’s deeply researched account weaves a succinct history of “America’s original sin” into an examination of the role of singing and religion in slave life and directly correlates slave testimonies—in their own words— to the themes of Spirituals. In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of spirituals, In Their Own Words includes a biblical concordance to 100 of the spirituals most frequently sung. Paperback. 520 pages.

Congregations and choirs throughout the United States are using Susan’s hymns. Crossings is a collection of meditations that have been written over a number of years primarily for use in hymn festivals. Can be used in worship services, hymn festivals, or for private reading. Full indexes are provided to help worship planners. Paperback. 256 pages.
