Deland's evocative words invite listeners to contemplate the themes of rebirth, redemption, and hope that lie at the heart of Easter's message. Through her literary talents, Deland captured the essence of the Easter story, infusing it with depth and emotion.

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Stephanie Daige. Baroque,Concert. Octavo. 29 pages. Stephanie Daige #3377603. Published by Stephanie Daige (A0.796870).

This little fugue is one of Bach's most famous and beloved organ works.  Re-imagined for double reed choir, it is a challenging and fun setting for this fugue.  The different instruments take turns entering with the subject of the fugue, and interplay back and forth with the other instruments.  The timbres of the different instruments adds a whole new textural dimension to this already fascinating work by J.S. Bach.  I considered the need to breathe for each of these wind instruments, which obviously wasn't an issue for the original version intended for organ.  This piece would be appropriate for advanced high school students, college students, or professionals.  It would do well in a chamber music concert, in a church, or between acts of a larger ensemble concert, perhaps in another location of the auditorium while a (quiet!) set change is taking place.  It would also work well as prelude or lobby music.  The duration is just over three minutes (or longer if you prefer to take it slower).  Each measure is numbered individually for convenience during rehearsals. 

I hope you will enjoy performing this piece as much as I have enjoyed arranging it!  There are also versions of this piece available for wind and brass quintets.  Please check out my other arrangements at: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/stephanie-daige/6875

American Triptych presents aspects of spiritual experience as expressed by three North American poets: Americans E. E. Cummings and W. S. Merwin, and Canadian Bliss Carman. Commissioned by the Reading Choral Society, Reading, Pennsylvania, David DeVenney, conductor. The work received its premiere performance on November 13, 1999.
The third movement, Mariner’s Carol, uses the metaphor of a sea journey to express a spiritual journey toward wholeness. A return to the minimalist rhythmic textures of the first movement creates a mood both calm and expectant. The chosen ensemble of instruments (harp, soprano saxophone, double bass, piano and percussion) gives the work a decidedly American character.
This work can also be performed with piano four-hands alone, or with piano four-hands and any combination of the ensemble instruments, with the two pianists omitting any doublings as indicated by the cues. Duration: 8:00.
