I wrote the text for this piece as a journal entry one evening as I watched my sweet dog Gobi sleep. In his last days I was fortunate to be able to write a piece celebrating him and rejoicing in the precious innocent spirits that are our animals.

We Bloomed in Spring

Grade

I was drawn to this poem because it addresses life, death and renewal on a number of levels. It is both personal and universal. It is both hopeful and heedful. I wanted the music to reflect all of these elements. The piece begins with a slow unfolding of the very first line of text. For the middle of the piece, I chose to use take heart as a call to also take heed. At the end of the piece, the sopranos sing take heart in the form of a question. These two words became an anchor for the entire piece.

An Illuminated Transcience

Based on a poem by Sarojini Naidu entitled "Cradle Song," A Little Lovely Dream is a lullaby in three verses. Each verse is cradled by a sung and hummed wordless interlude. The piece was premiered by Dare to Breathe and recorded on their album titled Dream a Little Dream.

Little Lovely Dream

A Birthday was composed for Floyd Farmer and the Camerata Singers of West Michigan in commemoration of their 25th Anniversary. The Christina Rosetti poem is about a birthday, and its many references to silver were perfectly suited to a “silver” anniversary. I played with the birds in the poem by weaving bird songs throughout the piece, which begins with the women’s voices chirping “cherry up cherry dee.” The Muskegon Chronicle called the piece “delicate and sprightly with a foundation of dignified solemnity.”

A Birthday

This piece is a setting of the beautifully poetic King James version of John 3:16. It is simple and elegant, and suitable for church choirs. It was commissioned in 2001 for Pastor Douglas R. Roper on the occasion of his retirement from Minnewashta Church, Shorewood, Minnesota. Pastor Roper, who sang in his church choir, had been rehearsing the piece for weeks without knowing it was a special commission or even a new piece. On his last Sunday, it was announced that the piece had been written in his honor.

For God So Loved the World

I found the poem from which the text for this piece is excerpted when perusing an old book of 15th-century Italian poetry. I decided to set the poem in its original Medieval Italian dialect. The piece is a six-minute slow swirl of voices moving toward heaven and light. It culminates by “blooming” as the soul reaches heaven.
