Bricolage

Quinto (Spanish for fifth) is based on several versions of the number five. There is a recurring fifth in the melody, the underlying ostinato pattern is based on fifths, and the piece is based in 5/4 meter. Further, the title word refers to the smallest Cuban conga, the quinto. An infectious melody makes it way through several instrument sections leading to a contrasting lyrical middle section in 4/4 meter. An uplifting modulation leads back into a recapitulation of the original theme and there is a gradual build and addition of instruments and countermelodies until full ensemble is involved in a dramatic and joyous conclusion to this work of picture music. Students will enjoy imagining the story this music might be telling and audiences will be engaged at the contrasts in dynamics and color.

You will find this an appealing work for young string orchestra or quartet. An optional 3rd Violin part may support or substitute for viola. The optional piano part may be helpful in rehearsals.

SATB Octavo

"Valley of the Shadow" was composed in memory of the composer's mother, Toi Francis Christopher (1927-1997). The work is textually based on the biblical 23rd Psalm and is a through-composed musical picture of the last days of her life.  While the process of death can be sad and unpleasant, life after death is a beautiful assurance declared in the final section of the piece.

This work is a musical text painting of a thoughtful and contemplative lyric, causing the listener to ponder yesterday, today, and the future â€“ with tomorrow being "a song yet to be sung."
