Four Canticles for the Christmas Season

Four Canticles for the Christmas Season
“Four Canticles for the Christmas Season” is a collaboration between HolySheetMusic and Lorenz Publishing. We are delighted to present to you this wonderful Christmas Piece!
About the Piece:
Bobette Olson, while a senior at Fairborn Baker High School in Fairborn, Ohio, wrote the lovely text which she asked me to set to music. While an undergraduate voice and choral education major at CCM (University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music) I set about working the thematic ideas for the text. At the time, I was singing tenor as part of the CCM Chamber Singers under the direction of Elmer Thomas, a protege of Robert Shaw. The style is clearly influenced by the acappella work that we were doing at CCM at that time, along with some recording that I did with the Whikehart Chorale, under the direction of Lewis Whikehart. This setting by the St. Martin’s Chamber Choir ideally captures most of the nuance of each piece as originally conceived.
The Recording:
“Four Canticles for the Christmas Season” was recorded December 22, 2007 for Christmas with St. Martin’s Chamber Choir at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Denver, Colorado; Timothy J. Krueger, Artistic Director, Ace Edwards, conductor for this particular concert piece.

O Clap Your Hands

O Clap Your Hands
“O Clap Your Hands” is an exuberant setting of verses from Psalm 47 praising God and shouting for triumph. A more introspective middle section is followed by a return to the joyful praise expressed in the Psalm. This contemporary a cappella anthem, including divisi and polychords to add strength and depth, is a challenging and rewarding piece for experienced choirs.

Proclamations – In Three Parts
Bradley Hampton
SSAATTBB
Proclamations – In Three Parts
The 11th chapter of 3 Nephi, when the Savior appears to the people in America, maybe the most read and most meaningful of all LDS scripture. This piece, with text based from verses in that chapter, is a short choral cycle with three parts. The first is the announcement from God the Father introducing His Beloved Son. The second is the Savior proclaiming his mission and testifying of the atonement that had occurred just a short time before in the old world. You will notice similar purposeful chord progressions in both part 1 and part 2. The third part is the reaction of praise and adoration from the people that experienced this event.
It is an attempt to keep these lyrics sacred and reverent by maintaining easy, uncomplicated rhythm. This piece should be approached in the same way; with simple, clear, purposeful movement. Its sound should be without vibrato (or at most very little vibrato), clean, and with lush ringing.
One of my favorite aspects of this piece is that these lyrics, while found in LDS scripture, are not limited to a Latter-day Saint Christian belief but can be used and are believed by all Christians everywhere. I hope its message and music will be felt by both the performer and the audience.

Wondrous Love
This piece for 8-part unaccompanied choir was commissioned by Brady Allred for his premiere choral group, the Salt Lake Vocal Artists. It was premiered in March 2012. The opening of the piece draws upon the “older,” more mystical, open-fifth sound native to the original shape-note setting in the Sacred Harp, combining it with harmonies that might be best described as “slightly jazzy.” The textual height of the setting is “Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.” This phrase, which should be one of the greatest musical focal points in performance, embodies the piece’s entire meaning. It emphasizes Jesus’s great sacrifice for humankind, and leads to the up-tempo, more rhythmic setting of the final two verses’ joyful response to that idea. In the faster section, the “Sing, I will sing” and “Sing it!” text serves as a “vocal percussion” accompaniment for the melody.
