SATB with piano accompaniment and shaker
ca. 2'25 duration

This toe-tapping arrangement is based on a lesser-known traditional African American Spiritual melody that I fell in love with immediately upon encountering it. The arrangement is accessible to good high school choirs and average college/university groups and is sure to please all audiences. The shaker part can easily be taken up by a non-percussionist from within the choir.

Wonder where is my brother gone?
Wonder where is my brother John?
He is gone in the wilderness,
Ain't comin' no more.

Wonder where will I lie down?
Wonder where will I lie down?
In some lonesome place, Lord,
Down on the ground.

Angel of Light is based entirely on Shaker texts and tunes. In contrast to my previous choral arrangements of Shaker music, the original sources in this cantata are treated with more compositional liberty. Throughout Shaker history, angels have played a significant role as messengers of guidance, strength, encouragement, and inspiration, often manifesting through the medium of song.

Lovely Angels is the third movement of Angel of Light, a cantata based on Shaker texts and melodies. Adapted from a Shaker song by Marcia E. Hastings, Lovely Angels is a celebratory and exuberant choral movement featuring a text that moves between English and vocables. The use of non-lexical vocables and “unknown tongues� are common elements of early Shaker music and a prominent focus of Angel of Light.

This setting of the best-known poem by Arthur O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881) about the fate of being music makers is certain to resonate with choruses and audiences alike. Duration: 5:25

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
And sitting by desolate streams;
World losers and world forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
-Arthur O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881).

The lyrics, from the Ateso language combined with borrowings from other languages and dialects, roughly translates as “Let us celebrate our schools, our learning, and our empowerment.” The piano accompaniment suggests the arpeggios typical of Ugandan hand-held harps (a’dungu). Other instruments, especially drums and shakers, may be added to the accompaniment, and the choral part itself includes body percussion in one section. (Also available for 3-Part Mixed or TTB chorus.).

This is the central movement of Angel of Light, a cantata based on Shaker themes. A dancing and playful rhythmic ride, it is ideal as a light-hearted opening or closing piece. The text dates from 1844 and is a lively example of a Shaker dance song. The vocal sounds represent a uniquely American form of mouth music- a style of traditional singing where nonsense words are used to mimic the sounds of instruments or the rhythms of a dance. Duration: 2:00.
