re-visiting my back catalog, I chose to look at all my previous psalm settings. This is a relatively simple setting of psalm 13 for choir with piano argument ;)

written earlier in 2021, a setting of some brief text from Psalm 32 (verse 11). A joyous work to uplift you after times of trouble or any time for that matter. The score is now available from Bergmann Edition here:

WHAT? YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND?

I feel I can say this now as I am almost done, don't insult me by clicking the "like" button without listening. Really, that is so insulting to someone who has worked hard to provide a product.

winding down this noble experiment gathering and choosing pitches, arranging them into some cogent order spread over various voices I offer what is probably among the final attempts I have made into this often frustrating but still satisfying work. On a text, a poem, by Sidney Lanier (d.1881)here is a choral pastorale for SATB (with a bit of divisi) choir.

a setting of the well known text from Luke's gospel, chapter 2 verses 28-32 . . . Simeon sees the infant Jesus and knows he has completed his time on earth.

The score is available here: https://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/555378.html

a setting of a short poem, written by Michaelangelo, for women's voices.

TEXT:

Caro m'è 'l sonno e più l' esser di sasso,

Mentre che 'l danno e la vergogna dura,

Non veder, non sentir m'è gran ventura;

Però non mi destar, deh! parla basso.

from 1971, among my very first attempts at this craft :-). Originally written and performed as incidental music for the Christmas masses at Newark, NJ's Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.
