Listen…
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.

Before the dawn ... the mouth of one

This arrangement of the hymn, "All My Hope on God in Founded" was for the 2014 Westminster Choir College Commencement.

Alan Morrison, organist
Solid Brass Ensemble

All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew,
me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone
calls my heart to be his own.

Pride of man and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tower and temple fall to dust.
But God's power, hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.

God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendor, light and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore from his store
newborn worlds rise and adore.

Daily doth the almighty Giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow;
his desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand at his hand;
joy doth wait on his command.

All My Hope on God is Founded

An anthem based on Daniel 12:3: 

“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” 

Performed by Portara Ensemble under the direction of Rev. Jason Shelton.

And They That Be Wise

This work is based on the Carl Sandburg poem of the same name. The often-dissonant and slowly-paced choral parts are complimented with a lofty, energetic, and often virtuostic flute solo that mimics the moonlight dancing on the water, as the text describes.

Performed by Portara Ensemble and Jessica Dunnavant, flutist, under the direction of the composer.
