Joy : From I Will Sing To The Stars

Written for the Jacksonville Children's Chorus, this SSAA setting of a Sara Teasdale text opens with a sort of call and response between the voices. The music then transitions to a contrasting key and a stark contrast featuring the chorus alone. The beginning them is heard again to conclude the piece with the repeated text, "I love, I am loved." The first movement of the three-movement work, "I Will Sing to the Stars." Duration 2:50

Today I will

How would you finish the sentence, “Today I will_______.”? That was the question Dr. Joe Miller and Anne Sears of Westminster Choir College asked of singers and audience members at the Westminster Choir’s 2017 Tour concerts, whose program focused on the opportunities and challenges each day presents to us. This piece is a web of several of those responses, gathered in four parts: the first about our immediate surroundings, the second describing our need for beauty and hope, the third a potpourri of actions linked with values, and the final a broad statement about our notes “in the great choir of humankind.” Duration: 3:45

Dusk : From I Will Sing To The Stars

Written for the Jacksonville Children's Chorus, this SSAA setting of a Sara Teasdale text begins in unison. This verse structure is followed by a refrain and a canon between the two voices on the text, "the air is blue and sweet." The contrasting middle section allows the voices to become the focal point on the text, "let me sing like birds, sing before night." The third movement of the three-movement work, "I Will Sing to the Stars." Duration 3:40

Peace : From I Will Sing To The Stars

Written for the Jacksonville Children's Chorus, this SSAA setting of a Sara Teasdale text is set completely for unaccompanied voices. The text, "Peace flows into me…," is introduced on a single note, gently expanding to a fuller sonority. The next section features a straightforward declamation of the text, followed by a rhythmic ostinato that lays a foundation for legato vocal lines in the upper voices. The piece then concludes on the single note from which it began. The second movement of the three-movement work, "I Will Sing to the Stars." Duration 4:25
