There Is A Ladye
Jerry Weseley Harris
There is a Ladye is a contemporary musical setting of a Renaissance period text
by Thomas Ford. Ford was a composer, lutenist, viol player and poet attached to
the court of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of James I, who died in 1612.
This musical setting has been a great exploration of legato articulation and unison
singing.
Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika
Enoch Sontonga, arr. Larentz-Jones
Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika was composed in 1897 and rst publicly sung in 1899.
This piece was commonly sung in native day school and further popularized by
the Ohlange Zulu Choir that visited the Rand giving concerts. When the African
National Congress ourished, its leaders adopted this piece as a closing anthem for
their meetings, and this soon became a custom in the other provinces in connection
with all types of Bantu organizations. Of late, the black races of the Union and the
Protectorates have somehow by tacit assent adopted it as their recognized national
anthem, sung before royalty and on large occasions.
God bless and preserve Africa.
Let her glory be held up high.
Please listen to our prayers;
God bless her children.
Spirit, please come down;
God bless and protect us.
Holy Spirit, please come down;
Bless us, we her children.
God protect our nation;
Please bring an end to wars and suffering.
Protect us,
Protect our nation, Africa.
Amen, so be it
Forever and ever.

Shirley Whitecotton
The poet is Madison Cawein, a famous American poet in his day. His output was
thirty-six books and 1,500 poems. His writing presented Kentucky scenes in a
language echoing the Romantic poets of Europe. He soon earned the nickname the
Keats of Kentucky. He was popular enough that, by 1900, he told the Louisville
Courier-Journal that his income from publishing poetry in magazines amounted to
about $100 a month. His poem, set to music by Shirley Whitecotton, likens music
to the growth and existence of nature.

How Can I Stop Singing My Song?

Cynthia Gray
Cynthia Gray is a music teacher who began composing because she couldnt nd
quality choral music for her middle school students. Fifty published songs later,
she is a staple in most school choral libraries. The choir discussed the meaning
of the text, and how the rhythmic structure of the song helped express the words.
Dance on My Heart
Allen Koepke
Since 1962, Allen Koepke has been active as a choral conductor and composer.
He won rst prize in the Iowa Choral Directors Association Composition Contest
in 1991 with Dance on My Heart. In class we discussed how the music re ects
the charactersnarrator, three suitors, and a fair young maid. The piece starts
out by sounding like a Renaissance madrigal, but quickly turns contemporary with
unexpected chords and irregular meter.
Someone to Watch Over Me
George & Ira Gershwin, arr. Shaw
This jazz standard by George Gershwin is deftly arranged by Kirby Shaw, an
icon of jazz choral music. The choir learned to sing stylistically, with slides and
smears, through the close harmonies. Gershwin was a classical trained pianist
who developed a concert hall following before he started adding jazz techniques
to his compositions. In this area, he is best known as the man who wrote the
United Airlines music.
Cantate Domino
Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni
Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni was an organist and composer from Perugia, Italy. He
became one of the leading musicians in Rome during the late Baroque era, the
rst half of the 18th century. This song was originally written for SATB voices,
which during the time period would have been men and boys. The text comes
from Psalm 149, verses 1 and 2, and translates to: O sing unto the Lord a new
song: let the congregation of saints praise him. Let Israel rejoice in him that made
him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.
Will there really be a Morning?
Craig Hella Johnson
Craig Hella Johnson set this poem by Emily Dickinson to a delicate, sensitive
melody. The students discussed how the parts are soprano and soprano, not
soprano and alto as is usual. They determined that their tone quality should be
lighter to express the soaring lines. Craig Hella Johnson is a world-renowned
living composer and choral conductor. He is best known as the founder and
Artistic Director of Conspirare, a family of vocal ensembles known for delivering uniquely beautiful and transformative musical experiences (Conspirare
website).

PROGRAM NOTES

Honor and Glory

J.S. Bach
This piece for 5 part choir is an arrangement of Sicut locutus est from Bachs
Magni cat. It was originally composed for 5 parts and orchestra, and was sung
in Latin. In class, the choir learned a bit about Bach and how his music exemplies Baroque style and performance practice. This is a fugue, with the opening
melodic statement coming back in every part at least three times.
Leccho
Orlando di Lasso
Orlando di Lasso was one of the most proli c motet and madrigal composers
of the Renaissance era. The choir learned this light-hearted song through sightreading all of the parts. This is set as a double choir piece; obviously, however,
since it is about an echo, both choirs sing exactly the same parts, just two beats
apart.
My word! What a lovely echo! Lets try it out.
Pleased to meet you! Ha ha ha ha ha, lets all laugh!
Oh my ne companion? What do you want?
Id like you to sing a song. Why? Why should I?
Why not? Because I dont want to.
Why dont you want to? Because I dont feel like it!
Shut up I say! You shut up, you big fool! Yes Sir!
Come now, no more! Lets go! Goodbye good echo!
Peace be with you. Thats enough, enough, enough!
A Gaelic Blessing
Daniel E. Gawthrop
Of all the Irish Blessing texts, this is one of the shortest, and possibly the
cleverest. The choir also learned this song through sight-reading the notes and
rhythms long before they saw the lyrics. Listen closely to the words to see why
this piece was selected to be part of the Humor in Choral Music workshop at
the ACDA 1999 National Convention. Composer Daniel Gawthrop is a church
musician who is best known for his stunning Sing Me to Heaven.
Lift Your Voice in Praise and Thanksgiving
G. F. Handel
This setting is a chorus from George Frideric Handels Chandos Anthem No. 6
As pants the hart for cooling streams (HWV 251b). Based on movement ve
In the voice of praise and thanksgiving (Psalm 42:4), the choral writing is in
the form of a fugue, each voice carrying the theme at several points throughout
the anthem.

I Am Not Yours
Z. Randall Stroope
I Am Not Yours is a stunning poem by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933), American poet
and lyricist. Born in St. Louis, her major poetic themes were love, death and
natures beauty. In 1918, she won the Columbia University Poetry Price (forerunner
of the Pulitzer Prize). A product of her Victorian upbringing, she never experienced
in life the passion that she so well expressed in her poetry. Nevertheless, her legacy
as a poet still towers into the twenty- rst century, and her eloquence continues to
grace the lives of all who read her poetry.
This setting of the work, by composer Z. Randall Stroope, portrays the intimacy
and longing of a life that is searching for an elusive completeness and total
connection to another being. One voice begins the work, and seems steadfast in
its plight (single tone), even though surrounded by many other voices. Eventually,
the inherent gentle caressing of the lines portray one overcome with emotion (O
plunge me deep in love--put out my senses...), and a full, con dent sonority rises
up in an unrestrained outburst. But the single voice leads away, remaining lost
as a candle, lost as a light...but not lost in the person of whom they dream.
The Music of Living
Dan Forrest
Dan Forrest is a contemporary composer who received his doctoral degree in
composition from the University of Kansas. This piece has been a study in two
different types of compositional contrast: use of both simple and compound division of the beat and open and closed harmonic voicing. It is an exuberant setting
of a text teeming with joy and optimism.
