The Morning Train: 4. Worrisome Blues

This fourth and closing song of the set "The Morning Train" is perhaps the best known and most rousing of the set. The original title is "Worried Man Blues." But in this new arrangement, the women join in with the theme and sentiment. So, the title has been changed to "Worrisome Blues." Duration: 5:15.

Erinnerung : Remembrance

An evocation of the sound world of Schubert's Sonatas, especially channeling Schubert’s D959. The references to Schubert are sometimes direct, but often altered in slight ways to evoke the dreamy sense of time that occurs while sleeping. It was commissioned by David Deveau specifically for a recording of this work with Steinway Records. Duration: 5:15

Dawnsong: Vocalise

This serene music is an arrangement of Scene XIV from the composer's oratorio "Paradiso," which is a setting of the third part of Dante's Divine Comedy (Commedia). The music is an evocation of Dante's passage into the hightest realms of heaven. The vocal parts are wordless, unaccompanied, and sublime, representing a song that accompanies his transformation of consciousness as he is surrounded by "love that moves the sun and other stars."

Pity the Beautiful

The poem to which this piece of music is set turns the concept of beauty on its head for about 4/5 of it. The remainder if the poem veers off in an entirely unexpected direction of gods and stars. The music reacts to the poem by way of ornamented melodies, optional improvisation heartily recommended by the composer, and homoponic passages. "The harmonic structures of the piece gets knottier as the text progresses to the penultimate statement." - Robert Schuneman

Hommage à Langlais: Song of Peace in a Time of War

This engaging work by Mary Beth Bennett was commissioned by the Northern Virginia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to celebrate its 50th anniversary. A soft misterioso section, reminiscent of Jean Langlais' "Song of Peace," begins the work, followed by a section of loud musical cries of anguish. An introspective central section of free melody in a Middle-Eastern mode ensues, and the work concludes with the hymn tune VICTORY ("The Strife is O'er") superimposed over it. Duration: 5:00

Veni Creator Spiritus

A setting of a composite text by the composer which combines passages from a variety of sources: the Requiem service (Dies irae, Libera me), the Mass (Agnus Dei qui tollis, Agnus Dei dona nobis pacem), and from a hymn attributed to the Benedictine theologian Maurus (776-856) "Veni Creator Spiritus." The images of destruction that begin the work are gradually transformed through an invocation of the energies of creation, as the music of the first half (in minor mode) dissolves into the bright music of the conclusion (in major mode).

The War Prayer

This text has been adapted from Mark Twain's The War Prayer, which he wrote in 1904-5 to protest America’s involvement in the Spanish-American War. His family convinced him to keep if from publication, fearing it was too controversial. Published after his death, Twain makes the case that if God causes all things to happen and blesses select people, then He must also, willingly, deny others his blessing. It is the other side of prayer, the unspoken side, which Twain so brilliantly characterized in The War Prayer.

i carry your heart

E. E. Cummings' poem i carry your heart could be read as a marriage vow, a joyous ode to a newborn, or even a eulogy to a lost love…it is adaptable to all kinds and levels of love. This setting is grounded in a steady quarter note ostinato which suggests the gentle tolling of bells, expressing respect and affection, both dignified and joyous in character. The accompaniment becomes subtly more animated at the poem’s two climaxes. The work ends with serene confidence, as the poet affirms the undeviating constancy and resolve of love. Duration: 5:30
