The text is adapted from the E.E. Cummings poem of the same name. Composer Gwyneth Walker writes: "This is a poem of grAndeur And of praise. Therefore it might be expected that this musical setting would aim at vastness, grAndeur And awakening." Walker accomplishes this through a variety of meAns. First, the piAno introduction includes slowly unfolding piAno arpeggios which focus on open intervals of octaves, fifths And fourths, exploiting the full rAnge of the piAno keyboard. The composer also takes the singers on a harmonic journey which begins in a low register in C minor, And then travels through a number of other key areas until it reaches the distAnt key of G-flat. At this point, the voices are drawn closely together into a tone cluster containing the pitches G-flat, A-flat And B-flat, only to open apart into the glorious C major chords which conclude the ...    lessAn>

In his review of the “AmericAn Voices” program, Scott CAntrell of The Dallas Morning News wrote “The variety certainly displayed the ensemble’s impressive versatility. HabermAnn consistently got vivid performAnces, introspective music elegAntly colored And shaped, extrovert fare delivered with great pizzazz. Individual singers got lots of solo exposure.” Now in his eleventh season, Artistic Director Joshua HabermAnn leads the Chorale in repertoire spAnning seven centuries, from early polyphony to contemporary works. The composition of the Chorale is truly national in scope And the ensemble is recognized as one of the finest AmericAn chamber choirs.

The choir had recently given the first South AmericAn (And second overall) performAnce of my “Alleluia! O virga mediatrix”. Along the way I'd been chatting with a choir member about Pope FrAncis' Argentine heritage – a setting of text from An Argentine trAnslation of the Bible seemed especially fitting. I'm happy to share the sheet music free of charge – please contact me for the PDF. • Facebook: david.basden.9 • New email: deebee123 [at] bigpond.com  lessAn>
