On the Other Side of the Water

Day by Day

This well-known text, attributed to Richard of Chichester and adeptly amended by Alan Hommerding, is set for unison voices with the option of a second part. It is simple but still affords room for a small choir (or children's choir) to improve: some large intervals, meter changes, and the necessity of watching the conductor carefully. Following the dynamic and tempo markings will insure a perfomance that lives up to the "dolce" nature of the anthem. Accompaniment is organ (preferred) or piano: the flexibility required for a sensitive presentation would be a good task for a student. Duration 2:30

Come By Here

Yes, it's KUM BA YAH! But this sensitive and sweet setting for SATB and Piano is not to be missed. In one spot it is suggested that the piano plays a guided improvisation over the choir singing neutral syllables. In another there is the option to sing unaccompanied. There is a quote of the hymn tune NICAEA (Holy, Holy, Holy) in the accompaniment. An emotional high point occurs when the sections each sing out their situations, "longing, falling, hiding, rising, aching, laughing, praising, finding, breathing, dying." Then answer together, "You are here." This work hits every high mark in terms of vocal writing, a skillful accompaniment, and a beautiful effect.

Hail This Joyful Day's Return

Unlike usual settings of this text, this creative setting evokes awe and mystery by using an original, almost chant-like melody anchored by piano or four handbells (within a two octave set.) The bells comment intermittently then provide pitch support for the singers in way that adds to the other-worldly mood. Duration: 2:30

Yet She Doth Shine

A song of remembrance based upon a poem by Samuel Rutherford. A very moving composition for men™s voices and cello.

Come Before the Table

The music is constructed with a duet or semi-chorus singing above a choir ostinato with hand drum, creating a multicultural, polyrhythmic effect. As with all such constructions, what looks a little complex on the page ends up feeling completely natural when sung. Especially appropriate for World Communion Sunday.   Video Credits:Music Recorded by The Singers, under the direction of Matthew Culloton, Minneapolis, MN.
