As I have watched what the youth of today are up against, I couldn't help but think of the stripling warriors described in the Book of Mormon.
It struck me that even though every warrior miraculously survived the two battles they fought in, every warrior was also badly injured, many to the point of fainting from the loss of blood.

And what happened next?

Every able soldier worked to bind up the wounds of the injured.
THIS is part of the story of their miraculous survival!
This is OUR part of the story as the parents/leaders of the youth today.
Who Will Bind Their Wounds? is a call to the latter-day Army of Antipus to come fight for and rescue our beloved Youth Battallion.

Will you hasten to the fight like Antipus of old?
Will you march with all your might to defend the stripling fold?...

Text:
To see his face, this newborn infant Son,
is to look upon pure brilliance like the sun.
To see his form, with glory in a stall,
hints for me to kneel and touch his swaddling shawl.

To see his face, to gaze upon his eyes,
is to know his strength which someday will supply
the greatest gift mankind will ever know . . .
He will give his life, his perfect love to show.

To hear his cries, I weep with gratitude
celebrating love, his sacrifice and wounds.
I bow my head in reverence for his Name.
He will take my sins, releasing me from shame.

To see his face, the very Son of God,
is to look upon perfection never flawed.
I speak his Name, this newborn heavn’ly Child,
and I know, from Him, to God I’m reconciled.

I lift my voice in songs of heartfelt praise.
On this Christmas morn to Him my eyes will stay.
I feel his love; I sense his warm embrace
as I look upon his ever-faithful face.

2017 Holiday Contest Entry

The alchemist

Flames in the dark sparkle

voice whispering echoes

They say about you

Sell useless dreams

they say about me that I’m too much frail

You are shutting down the day of this city

the lights switch on of different realities

and time dilates , begins another life

It is tacit ritual of a sad tribes

You firefly who shine

can you tell me where he is?

I seek the alchemist , you see yourself

from my eyes rimmed

on the nothing  wide open

they are full of fears and resemble your

And here it is your circus , you wait me already

not much has changed from a lifetime ago

you do not, you are not aged

a Peter Pan sick , who deduct his sins in the lives of others

clown you always have so many , acrobats tired

poised always between dream and reality

and as a cat, I also see in the dark

and over the waste to me slowly and then die

the crises, then anxiety , that imperfect woman

I do not stand me  anymore

I who have never been a daughter , your promise of another family

and this need for love, that torture and kill me

While you brush my long hair , from your hands give off crystals

bright lights exploding inside

as if by magic now I belong to you

snakes tattooed lean on your hips

 we float in the sea of time

how does I exist? always or yesterday

I do not remember but only mysteries

You adult  man and I young girl

abracadabra, as all before

I tired and old and you still a child

us travelers in a bogus time

and while I explore the emptiness I have inside

Nothing is sweeter than this torment

You prepare the potion , the right proportion , the antidote and poison

but you put more passion , My animal instinct

and add a little 'of gall for those who have hurt me

Mix all right , only you know what to do

you seals good my heart , can not serve me

evil plots to good , with fumes and vapors , ampoules almost full ,please ... let me drink ...

But you can not , and I stay here , prisoner of your invisible world

We like vampires , breath broken by sighs , arms forward, off eyes

alchemist turn off my complaints

You like a zombie , ready to sink your teeth ,that fascinates me and scares

alchemist dissolve my torments ..

but you can not .. and I stay here

I'm looking for the courage to live

 

It is being born on the day of this city

Milano  colored yourself with its activities

shorten the shadows , the sun shines and a veil hiding now all his vices

and my pace is tired , my face a bit 'more haggard  ,emptiness inside me and where are you?

I run always and do not know where I go

I look back , I stumble and then I fall

Slow walk among the tired souls

alive but in a state of apparent death

rips in the soul and on my clothes

I have no tattoos, scars only

and as the salt do  on the wounds

I burn at the memory of bad choices

Iron bars are closed . echoes of voices  deafen

They say about you that you no longer have a tear

they say about me that I’m free woman ...

Arranged by Brock Lupton. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 84 pages. Brock Lupton #6879051. Published by Brock Lupton (A0.942434).

Brahms composed the Alto Rhapsody, properly known as Rhapsody for Alto, Male Chorus, and Orchestra, opus 53 in 1869. It was first performed in Jena on March 3, 1870.

The text is based on Harzreise im Winter (Winter Journey in the Harz Mountains), a poem by well-known German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). The Alto Rhapsody, like many of Brahms’ works, has loneliness and alienation as its central themes. Brahms’ devotion to Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann’s widow, is well-known (the letters between her and Brahms fill two volumes). What is less well-known is that he was undoubtedly very fond of Julie Schumann, Clara’s daughter.

In 1869, Brahms spent the summer near the Schumann’s residence and was in daily contact with Julie and Clara completing, among other works, the Liebeslieder (Love Song) Waltzes.

In early July, Julie announced her engagement. Of course, I told Johannes first of all, Clara noted in her diary on the 11th. Soon after, the conductor Hermann Levi told her that Brahms had been devotedly attached to her daughter. By July 16th, Clara noted in her diary that Brahms speaks only in monosyllables . . . [and] treats Julie in the same manner, although he used to be so especially nice to her. Did he love her?

Julie was married on September 22. Later on that very wedding day, Brahms called on Clara, who wrote in her diary, Johannes brought me a very wonderful piece . . . the words from Goethe’s Harzreise. . . He called it his bridal song. This piece seems to me neither more nor less than the expression of his own heart’s anguish. If only he would for once speak so tenderly! This piece is of course the dark and emotional Alto Rhapsody.

Goethe’s poem Harzreise im Winter poetically describes the kind of life God intends for different temperaments. The three stanzas set by Brahms concern the fate of a man in fruitless struggle against the bonds of misery. A young man, turned misanthropic by sorrow, seeks solitude in the wilderness.

The piece is in the baroque cantata style, with an opening recitative, and aria, and a concluding chorale. The alto describes the desolate winter landscape and in the final chorale joins the male chorus in a prayer for a melody that can bring comfort to the thirsting soul (indeed the plea restore his heart is repeated three times at the end, as a kind of Amen). In the Alto Rhapsody it is not hard to find evidence for Brahms’ statement that I speak through my music.

The foregoing is from a program note written for a 1997 New York Choral Society performance of the Alto Rhapsody in observance of the centenary of the death of Johannes Brahms. It has been taken from the society web page http://www.nychoral.org/brahms/brahms3.html

An English translation of the German text used by Brahms

SOLO

But down there, who is it?

His path loses itself in the bush.

Behind him the branches close.

The grass stands up again.

Desolation surrounds him.

O, who heals the wounds of the one to whom balm has become poison,

who drank hatred of people from the fullness of love?

Once despised, now a despiser.

Secretly he destroys himself in unsatisfying self-seeking.

CHORUS

If there is in your psaltery, Father of Love, a tone his ear can hear, let it enliven his heart.
