Personent hodie is a Christmas carol originally published in the 1582 Finnish song book Piae Cantiones. A melody found in a 1360 German manuscript is highly similar, and it is from this manuscript that the music is usually dated. The carol became more prominent in England after being arranged for unison voices and orchestra in 1916 by Gustav Holst.

This arrangement is written for a choir that usually sings SAB music and can split the soprano. Originally notated in D Dorian and sung by male voices, this version is transposed up a whole tone for a better fit for women's voices and harmony

This is a transcription for band of the fifth Pomp and Circumstance March by Edward Elgar, in its entirety. Although unknown except through a few orchestra recordings, it is an example of Elgar at his finest. It was complete in 1930, about 25 years after Elgar completed the rest of his Opus 39. Pitched in the original key of Ab /C, the march is very playable at the intermediate level. There is some very interesting contrapuntal work, especially in the trio sections.

Voiced for SSAB with optional organ.  A combination of Latin, English, and Greek text.  
 
The Improperia, also known as the Reproaches, are a series of antiphons and responses used on Good Friday that remind us of the atrocity of our sin. God had repeatedly saved us and we repeatedly rejected Him.

Here I have put the first refrain, Popule Meus (Micah 6:3), in four part Latin. The other reproach verses, of which I have used three, are placed in a natural chant line voiced by one or more second sopranos and written in English. The Trisagion refrain is sung in Greek by the baritones followed by English for three part women. The Popule Meus ends the piece. If you wish to use more of the verses you can certainly accommodate them within the structure here.

An optional, simple complimentary organ part is included if the director feels it desirable or necessary.

Vocal Ranges:
Soprano 1 : Eb4 - D5
Soprano 2 : D4 - C5
Alto : Bb3 - G4

A two part mixed voice anthem with keyboard accompaniment. The text is from the Biblical verse, 2 Samuel 18:33 which records King David's reaction to the news that his son Absolom, who had rebelled against him, had been killed. 


When David heard that Absalom was slain
He went up to his chamber over the gate and wept,
and thus he said: my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!

A meditation while at my camp in Maine on a lovely late summer morning enjoying coffee and watching the little creatures flying to the flowers on the morning glory vine I planted. If you close your eyes you can see it and feel the morning sun on your skin. When one has mother nature is there any other need for inspiration?
