TEXT

Prologue - Hommage to Amacher (Ps. 101*:2 BSV) 
	
…clamor meus ad te veniat.

[let my cry come to you.]

/GP/

I. (Ps. 102:6-7 NRSV)

I am like a desert owl of the wilderness,
	like a little owl of the waste places.
I like awake;
	I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.

/GP/

II. Passer Solitarius (Ps. 101*:8 BSV)

…factus sum sicut passer solitarius in tecto.

[I am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.]

/SGG/

III. (Ps. 102:4, 24 LUTH1545)

Mein Herz is geschlagen und verdorrt wie Gras, daß ich auch vergesse, mein Brot zu essen.
…
Mein Gott nimm mich nicht weg in der Hälfte meiner Tage!

[My heart is stricken and withered like grass, such that I have forgotten to eat my bread.
…
My God, do not take me away but halfway through my days!]

/GP/

IV. Passer Multus (Ps. 101*:8 BSV)

…factus sum sicut…

/SGG/

V. (Ps. 102:17, 13)

He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
	 and will not despise their prayer.
…
You will rise up and have compassion on Zion…

/GP/

VI. (Ps. 101*:2 BSV)
	
[…cl-] a [-mor m-] e [-us….]

/SGG/

Burlesque (Ps. 101:2-3, 5 NRSV)

I will study the way that is blameless.
	When shall I attain it?

I will walk with integrity of heart
	in my house;
I will not set before my eyes
	anything base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
	it shall not cling to me.
…
One who secretly slanders a neighbor
	I will destroy.
A haughty look and an arrogant heart
	I will not tolerate.

/GP/

George Papajohn (b. 1998 Milwaukee) is a composer, improvisor, and multi-instrumentalist currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His recent work engages with latent tensions of identity held within the material, historical, and phenomenological aspects of sound. 

His music has been performed by Ensemble Dal Niente, the Northwestern University Contemporary Music Ensemble, and by frequent collaborators Cameron Roberts and Julia Ansolabehere. George earned his B.M. in music composition at the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music where he studied with Alex Mincek, Hans Thomalla, and Jay Alan Yim. He is currently pursuing a PhD in music composition at the University of California, Berkeley.

Australian composer, born 1960, married to Clare Maclean (New Zealand/Australian composer). The first series of paintings used on my Soundcloud sight were by my father, Barry Carroll. I have used other painters since then. There is a wide variety of music here: recent compositions, pieces written in my thirties, student works, and pieces written in my teenage years. Its mostly based on Finale versions of my scores. There is a full list of my Soundcloud pieces at https://john-carroll-poems.com/soundcloud-recordings/

Soon after I started learning piano I began composing. At university I studied with Peter Sculthorpe (1978-81) [and earlier, with Martin Wesley-Smith, Moya Henderson and Eric Gross]. My style was modernist (In Terra Pax, Sonata for Two Pianos and Horn, Qui Tollis). After my studies I felt drawn to tonality. Many of my pieces were written during my thirties. My style is often tonal, sometimes using the structures of classical music, sometimes incorporating traditional melodies, aiming to express a sense of the timeless goodness in existence. I became a pastor. There was a twenty year exile from composition, during which time I started writing poetry. 

In 2018 I began composing again. Over 1940 new works have been written, each one canonic - using Plainsong, Jewish cantillation, Scottish pibrochs, Icelandic music, early transcriptions of Aboriginal music, Breton and Northumbrian melodies, Gaelic psalms, Irish and English tunes, Welsh folk songs, and my own melodies (and an extended series of works that accompany paintings) "joining our voice to a great communal voice that calls out across the centuries" (Ben Myers). Bruckner greatly influenced me when I was young. May I also create melodies that "arc from heaven" (Colin Davies).

As a Mexican and Canadian composer, winner of the Beethoven's Legacy composition competition of the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal and Yannick Nézet-Séguin in 2020, she has a very varied catalog, ranging from orchestral repertoire to solo music. The duality between darkness and light is very present in her work as it is in ancient Mexican Philosophy. Also, the theme of legacy, ritual, mysticism and the force of nature are essential in her music. Furthermore, she likes to create rich colored atmospheres using noisy sonorities or very lyrical melodies. García Islas finds interesting the use of both to create a balance between strength and lyricism.
