Lyrics:

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus // Holy, Holy, Holy 
Dominus Deus Sabaoth; // Lord God of Hosts; 
pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua // Heaven and earth are full of Your glory 
Hosanna in excelsis // Hosanna in the highest

Note:

I'm thrilled to share this work, and to bring it to realization with the help of some truly amazing musicians. This mass is particularly close to my heart; in some ways it's fairly traditional—it is a mass, after all—but there's something about it that I find intensely new and striking, and I hope this comes through in the recording.

Before I began working on this piece, I had been wanting to write a mass for some time. I tried starting into the project several times, but while each followed the sentiment of the mass and illustrated the words well, something seemed to be missing. I knew that I would only be happy with a setting if it not only brought the words to life but presented a vivid musical interpretation of the idea of a mass. The music, in other words, would need to speak completely for itself.

It wasn't until an extended period of traveling across the country that the right ideas began to come. The Kyrie began to take shape during these travels, and most of that movement came suddenly during a wild thunderstorm in Brooklyn, while I sat in an old building looking out at the stone walls of an old cathedral. The feel of that thunderstorm is still almost tangible to me—as is the peculiar exhilaration and awe that I felt at seeing it after having been away from dramatic weather for years since moving from the east coast to San Francisco—and it stayed with me as I wrote the rest of the mass.

This setting of the mass is particularly dark and tremendous, and some may complain that movements like the Gloria are less celebratory than is conventional. For me, though, this is a sincere and deeply human interpretation. It focuses on the human experience of worship in a way that is perhaps closer to the medieval or Renaissance tradition than to the Classical and Romantic interpretations, embracing the turmoil, fear, awe, wonder, and sublimity inherent in the text and practice of the mass, and refusing to shy away from the intensity of the experience. In this way, I hope it evokes the ageless sentiments of the mass and brings them to the present in a way that feels both ancient and electrifyingly real.

Sanctus

Written in 2015, Cradle Song (of Mary’s Beloved) is a 3-minute-long work for SATB choir with either brass or woodwind instrumental solo (optional solo parts include Bb Trumpet, Flute, Bb Clarinet, or Horn in F).

The text, adapted from the 1901 poem of the same name by Patrick K. O’Horan, is a sweet lullaby sung by Mary, mother of Jesus, to her “beloved little One” of the “Holy, Immortal, Ineffable Name.”

In her gentle song, she promises:
“Here is thy mother
Close, dearest heart:
I shall be with thee
When shepherds depart.
Sleep, O my little Lord, darling one, sleep.”

Identity is about the different ways we present ourselves. We are all very complex characters and depending on how we feel, different sides of our personality and characters shine through or are hidden away.

Hi followers Not my usual stuff but I'm enjoying a bit of Bruce Hornsby at the moment. The solo needs a lot more work but thought would post this for now and come back to it later.  Feedback (good/bad) appreciated! If you want to hear a bit more let me know. Ben

BRUCE HORNSBY AND THE RANGE - THE ROAD NOT TAKEN (piano instrumental cover)

Song: Every Breath
by: Jenny Phillips

His hands are
Catching your tears
And even without any words
He hears
You feel so far
But he's right where you are
And He knows

[Chorus]
Every breath
Every pain
He knows your heart and
He knows your name
The giver of life
Light in your soul
Oh come home
Come rest
Let Him bless
Your every breath

Silence your voice and be still
And even without any words
You will feel
You think you're far
But he lives in your heart
And he knows

[Chorus]

There's nowhere you can go
That He hasn't been below

[Chorus]
