At The wall's base The fiery nettle springs, With fruit globose and fierce with poison'd stings; In every chink delights The fern to grow, With glossy leaf and tawny bloom below: The few dull flowers that o'er The place are spread Partake The nature of Their fenny bed. These, with our sea-weeds, rolling up and down, Form The contracted flora of our town.  less

Bradford put Walt Whitman's words from Leaves of Grass to music in this choral work. GIVE me The splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling; Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from The orchard; Give me a field where The unmow'd grass grows; Give me an arbor, give me The trellis'd grape; Give me fresh corn and wheat—give me serene-moving animals, teaching content; Give me nights perfectly quiet, and I looking up at The stars; Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturb'd; Give me for marriage a sweet-breath'd woman, of whom I should never tire; Give me a perfect child—give me, away, aside from The noise of The world, a rural, domestic life; Give me to warble spontaneous songs, reliev'd, recluse by myself, for my own ears only; Give me solitude—give me Nature—give me again, O Nature, your primal sanities!  less

Consolacion II CANTUS Festival Brass Alejandro Consolacion, organ Franz Miguel Ramirez, conductor 1. When in our music God is glorified, and adoration Leaves no room for pride, it is as though The whole creation cried, Hallelujah! 2. How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in The world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Hallelujah! 3. So has The church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to The truth in every tongue: Hallelujah! 4. And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night when utmost evil strove against The Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won The fight: Hallelujah! 5. Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Hallelujah! Amen.  less

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
