(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) The soprano joins The choir for The twice-repeated middle section of The piece. The music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) The tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “The Song of Songs” for male voice and band. That piece is dedicated to my wife, Ruth, hence The connection. If that were not enough, our daughter is named Naomi! The Song of Ruth closes with a recapitulation of The music from The opening, but with new words assigned to it, and with The soprano soloist providing a descant for it. (“May The Lord cause ill fate to befall me, and more, if anything but death separates me and you.”) Appropriat...    less

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let The ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "The haunted choir!" The merriest ghost that walks The earth, Is sure The ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let The ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less

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

Recorded live on Friday, May 16, 2014, at The Broward Center in The Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by The Lyric Choir ensemble of The Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had no red for wounds and red for blood. I had no black for an orphaned child. I had no white for The face of The dead. I had no yellow for burning sands. But I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had orange for joy and life. I had green for buds and bloom. I had blue for clear, bright skies. I had pink for dreams and rest. I had a paint box. Each color g...    less
