Dona eis requiem
SELF | TBD | Dona Eis Requiem is a three-movement work based on Latin prayers for eternal rest and light from the Requiem Mass. The music is modern, lyrical, and tonal and is available in three voicings: SA or Treble, TB, and SAB. The first movement is a mix of homophonic sections interspersed with polyphonic melodies, all underscored with a flowing accompaniment. The second movement uses a simple unison melody with the Bass doubling at the octave in the SAB version. The third movement combines polyphonic melodies with homophonic writing. Each movement can be performed on its own.

Can be effective in a service context whose theme is evening prayer but may also be used in a concert setting. Mostly quiet writing except for the setting of the words, "The night heralds the dawn. Let us look expectantly to a new day, new joys, new possibilities" where the chorus reaches a crescendo supported by the organ. Non-denominational, suitable for most religious settings.

Missa Brevis
BBP | $3.85 | SAB, SA, or TB and piano| YouTube link is HERE
Missa Brevis is a contemporary and lyrical work for SAB, TB, or SA/treble chorus and piano or organ, suitable for liturgical services and concert settings. Its modular composition allows for each movement (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei) to stand alone. The work is notable for its use of contemporary harmonic colors within a tonal framework — approachable for congregations yet artistically satisfying for concert audiences. Vocal lines are crafted for natural vocal production, with careful attention to range and tessitura. The Kyrie is a meditative invocation that employs a warm, modal-inflected tonal language to create a chant-like intimacy. The Gloria is a joyful proclamation of praise, more buoyant and rhythmically active than the Kyrie, with syncopations and forward momentum that convey exuberance. The Sanctus is a majestic and reverent affirmation, using expansive chords and open intervals to evoke a sense of awe. The Agnus Dei is a contemplative plea for peace with rich, sustained chords and gentle dissonances that resolve into consonance, underscoring the text’s supplication.
The work's modular composition allows for each movement to stand alone. For example, the Agnus Dei may be presented separately as a choral communion hymn while the Gloria could serve as an anthem. In concert settings, the order may be changed, such as placing the Gloria as the final movement to create a festive conclusion. In this recording of the SAB version, the Benedictus is sung separately from the Sanctus. Later in the service, the Benedictus was sung along with the Agnus Dei during communion. For details on how to perform this modified version of the Missa Brevis in a service, refer to the score's Program Notes and the Sanctus section at measure 25.

The Ships of Yule
JWP | $2.00 | TB and TTBB (also available in SATB, SSA, SAB, and SA) | sound files are available on the publisher web pages
This setting of Bliss Carman's poem, "The Ships of Yule," is lively and rhythmic and contains elements of a traditional sea chantey. The music is tonal with lots of harmonic color and forays into related keys. The poem refers to Yule, and so the piece is appropriate for Christmas or winter celebrations.
