An original hymn expressing the thought that words fail to convey what one feels in the soul. Text by Mark R. Fotheringham below.

1. Never has the poet found
Words to match the flowing sound
Or the feeling in our hearts
As the Spirit here imparts

Light and knowledge from on high,
Testimony pure.
Though we stumble to describe,
Still we know it sure.


2. Gold and rubies hidden deep,
Any treasure man might reap,
All are trifles when compared
To the promise God has shared:

Life eternal, filled with joy,
With the ones we love,
In the presence of our God
And the Lord above.


3. Neither eye nor ear of man
Hath perceived such blessings grand,
Neither has the mortal heart
Ever thought one could impart

Blessings as our God will give
Those who love The Lord.
All The Father hath will be
On the righteous poured.

Agnus dei for high or medium Solo Voice and Piano uses as an inspiration the melody from the aria Ombra mai fú from Handel’s opera Serse. The long, lyrical melody borne forward by the steady, quiet, powerful accompaniment conveys a tranquil sacredness. The sense of entreaty and desire for benediction expressed in the Agnus Dei seems a natural fit with Handel’s famous melody. An instrumental introduction precedes the voice calling out agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi. A solo instrumental meditation follows leading back to the conclusion of the piece. Arrangements for other ensembles are also available (SSA, SATB) as well as featuring the addition of Solo Violin, Flute, Oboe or Clarinet and soloist with chorus. Difficulty is moderate for both the singer and pianist and is suitable for a sacred setting or the concert hall. Duration approximately 4 minutes.

Brief Vibrations (2010) was written for and is dedicated to Jonathan Mark Roberts. The cycle comprises settings for unaccompanied voice of poems by Elisabeth T. Eliassen (b. 1961) from the collection Brief Encounters With Fluidity (2008). I. Kairos II. Stillness Sings III. Within the Embrace IV. Spring Rain V. The Vine VI.Vibrations Performance notes: These songs may be performed by any vocalists of any voice type or sex. They may also be performed in any transposition. However, all songs performed must be transposed in exactly the same manner. Though a performance of all six songs is highly preferred, smaller groupings or individual songs may be performed, particularly if the performance is not in concert. Throughout all songs, exceptional sensitivity, expressivity, and freedom is necessary to project a compelling performance. There should never be any sense of metronomic rigidity. The music serves to express and declaim the text, and this should be the driving force in shaping any interpretation.
