In this arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter, Simpson sets the classic tune against a rich harmonic backdrop. Alternating accompaniment styles between verses, audiences are invited to appreciate the text in a new light. This arrangement, for solo voice and organ, is a perfect feature in sacred Christmas programs.

One of many folk songs collected by John Jacob Niles, The Lass from the Low Countree is a dramatic and cautionary tale on the hazards of misplaced affection. In this arrangement by Jeremiah Simpson, an accompanied Tenor/Bass ensemble delivers this ballad about a woman scorned with sympathy and regret. It is a simple 2-part arrangement that uses less to say more, making it appropriate for ensembles into their young teens. Though, the themes are mature enough, and the technical ceiling is high enough that advanced high-school and collegiate age ensembles will also find it engaging.

Ensemble

"Alice" by Jeremiah Simpson is a setting of the Paul Laurence Dunbar poem of the same title. Inspired by 19th-20th century parlour songs, "Alice" is a delicate and approachable piece that derives its beauty from its simplicity. Find a piano-playing friend and sing about nature, and how its beauty compares to that of Alice.

"The Lover's Tasks" is based on a folk tune I found in a book in the library - "Eighty English folk songs from the Southern Appalachians," by Cecil Sharp. Like many folk songs, "The Lover's Tasks" is one of many iterations of an idea, its most famous cousin being "Scarborough Fair." The text depicts a battle of wits, where two people are listing increasingly impossible tasks the other must complete before they agree to be their lover. The first person who can't come up with a new ridiculous ask is the one who must fold and accept the invitation. To accentuate that competition, a "telescoping" section is placed in the middle, where the Soprano/Alto and Tenor/Bass voices overlap, singing different verses.

SATB Full Score

In this lush and romantic interpretation of Elizabeth Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?" two voices tell an intertwining story of passionate, ever-lasting love. A piece with great reverence for the classic art song, it also brings elements from other styles in order to tell its story more effectively. "How Do I Love Thee?" rewards performers who brings deep sincerity and care, tapping into the parts of themselves that feel without restraint.
