Mark Rimple:  3 Pieces For String Quartet performed by the Dali Quartet

For "A Christmas Prayer," which was commissioned and premiered by Canon Tim Tuller and the Choir of St. John's Episcopal Cathedral, Jacksonville, Florida, I set of a poem attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson, alhtough that attribution is doubtful. This performance features Dr. Craig Phillips conducting the Choir of All Saints' Episcopal Church; Dr. Collin Boothby is the organist. Oddly, seemingly no music publisher is willing to take this carol-antham into their catalogue, perhaps due to the relevance of the text to our turbulent times.

"A Christmas Prayer"
Loving Father,
help us to remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the Magi.
Shut the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing of Christ,
and teach us to love one another.
May the Christmas morning
make us glad to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to rest
with grateful hearts,
forgiving and forgiven,
in the Name of the incarnate Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

Ravel, Gaspard de la nuit, No.1 "Ondine"

Alban Berg's Piano Sonata in a single movement, Opus 1, was published in 1910.

Berg, Piano Sonata

My "Suite in Olden Style" for solo organ is an homage to the Baroque music, that I love, and was composed for the pleasure of it. It is cast in four movements: Sinfonia, Fugue, Siciliana, and Rigaudon. As of yet, this score is unpublished. The organist on this recording is the spectacular Jason Klein-Mendoza.
