Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd) in Dorian mode
Dorian mode setting of Psalm 23 by David W Solomons

The Lord is my shepherd I shall lack nothing
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me along the still waters.
He restores my soul and makes me walk
within the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale yet I will fear no evil
for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me still
you have furnished my table in the presence of my foes
my head you anoint with oil and my cup overflows
Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me
and my dwelling place shall be in God's house evermore. less

Poetry by W.B. Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. less

Background. In the 1970s I visited Poland twice and fell in love with Polish choral music -- and Lulajże Jezuniu became one of my favourite Christmas carols in any language.
While flying from Ottawa to Vancouver in December 2017, I felt inspired and arranged most of this piece while at 30,000 feet! I must have been quite a sight conducting away in my aisle seat, with my head phones plugged into my computer.
I have dedicated Lulajże Jezuniu to the late Adam and Helena Kmiotek, who showed me such generosity of spirit as my hosts in Szczecin during my second Polish trip.
NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the TTBB score can contact me at rain... less

Music (for men's voices - AATB) composed and performed by David W Solomons (dwsChorale)
Poem:
Order of the Day
DAWN
The new light softly streams,
Through the lace curtains,
And I try to mend my dreams
Till Im myself again.
NOON
I look into the sky,
Where cirrus clouds collide,
Laze in the summer light,
While the breeze talks to me.
EVENING
A time for rose-red thought,
Long shadows casting,
Memories fleeting,
Fading and fraught.
DUSK
Dusk is for grieving,
And for private tears.
Perhaps for believing
Despite what we fear.

In it, Dromgoole tells the story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in the evening as he is unafraid, then builds a bridge to span the tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build the bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime.
The old man lifts his grey head and responds to the questioning traveler that a youth is to follow after him. He too, would need to cross in the twilight dim. The old man answers, “I am building this bridge for him.”
The commission process was an interesting and fascinating one in which to be involved. Dr. Dickau was originally approached a year or so ago by the chorale, and was inter... less
