THOU ORB ALOFT FULL-DAZZLING
by Walt Whitman

THOU orb aloft full-dazzling! thou hot October noon!
Flooding with sheeny light the gray beach sand,
The sibilant near sea with vistas far and foam,
And tawny streaks and shades and spreading blue;
O sun of noon refulgent! my special word to thee.

Hear me illustrious!
Thy lover me, for always I have loved thee,
Even as basking babe, then happy boy alone by some wood edge,
thy touching-distant beams enough,
Or man matured, or young or old, as now to thee I launch my
invocation.

(Thou canst not with thy dumbness me deceive,
I know before the fitting man all Nature yields,
Though answering not in words, the skies, trees, hear his voice—
and thou O sun,
As for thy throes, thy perturbations, sudden breaks and shafts of
flame gigantic,
I understand them, I know those flames, those perturbations well.)

Thou that with fructifying heat and light,
O'er myriad farms, o'er lands and waters North and South,
O'er Mississippi's endless course, o'er Texas' grassy plains, Kana-
da's woods,
O'er all the globe that turns its face to thee shining in space,
Thou that impartially infoldest all, not only continents, seas,
Thou that to grapes and weeds and little wild flowers givest so
liberally,
Shed, shed thyself on mine and me, with but a fleeting ray out of
thy million millions,
Strike through these chants.

Nor only launch thy subtle dazzle and thy strength for these,
Prepare the later afternoon of me myself—prepare my lengthen-
ing shadows,
Prepare my starry nights.

Thou Orb Aloft Full - Dazzling

I Sing the Body Electric by Walt Whitman

"Of Him I Love Day and Night" by Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass (1867) ; female narrator

Of Him I Love Day And Night - Walt Whitman

Thou Orb Aloft Full - Dazzling (demo)

	Of Equality was commissioned by the Connecticut Children’s Choir of The Hartt School Community Division (Noah Glynn, Director).  I originally came across the main text for the work—a brief fragment by Walt Whitman—in the summer of 2015 when I was looking for poetry to set in a different composition.  I originally thought I might include that short poem in a set of songs about social issues, but Whitman’s words captivated me so much that I ended up using only that one, short text for the entire piece, which is about thirteen minutes long.  That wasn’t enough, though!  I kept hearing the text sung by a choir in my head, so I approached the administration of the Community Division about a possible collaboration with the Connecticut Children’s Choir.  
	I wanted to go beyond just setting the words to music and really engage with the students about the issue of equality.  The composition thus includes not only Whitman’s poem but also additional text inspired by discussions with members of the Prelude, Canticum, and Concert Choirs.  Their words and ideas shaped the piece, and I am so thankful I was given the opportunity to work with these bright, talented young singers!
        Though the piece originated as a work for children's choir, it has been arranged for mixed choir (SATB) and treble choir (SSA). This recording is the version for SATB with organ accompaniment.

The QUALITATIVE GROUND is an order which emerges FROM WITHIN the players of the ensemble. Normally, in Western music, we make the profound mistake of imposing order FROM WITHOUT (ie. the conductor)

...from Whitman

This is my latest pop song with male AI vocals. Lyrics are inspired by the poem "Song of myself" from Walt Whitman. Listen with headphones...

"There's something in me, I can't explain
A force unnamed, like summer rain
I sleep so long, my body calm and cool
Swinging on creation, nature's golden rule 

I am multitudes, I contradict
Eternal life, a plan so strict
Brothers and sisters, can you see?
It's not chaos, it is  harmony 

The past and present, I've filled and drained
The future folds, yet to be ordained
I wait on doorsteps, concentrate nearby
Who'll walk with me under the evening sky

I am multitudes, I contradict
Eternal life, a plan so strict
Brothers and sisters, can you see?
It's not chaos, it is harmony

I'm the spotted hawk, swooping through the air
Untranslatable, beyond compare
I depart as wind, my locks white as snow
Bequeathing myself to the earth below

I am multitudes, I contradict
Eternal life, a plan so strict
Brothers and sisters, can you see?
It's not chaos, it is harmony
it is harmony."

Constellation Lyra - I Am Multitudes [out now on Spotify]

lyrics:

As I wait by the railway station
Starin' holes through the ground
And burn another cigarette
I bummed outside of town
Ain't it funny how the same story's often told
And people still pretend as if
They have a heart of gold

On the road the choir's singing
From the East onto the West
Milestone and eyes sore
Take me to the general store
And feed me lies all night
Funny how things never work out right

Out on the beach my heart skipped away
Drunk on the shoreline
Red Wine, red wine
They'll never know
There's no going back
40 miles
I'll stay a while
This won't ever last
We were together 
I forget the rest.


Ain't gonna last

MUSIC? The one thing humans do,
that makes the rest of nature jealous.

Jessica Rudman’s music inspires empathy for social issues through stories of myth, magic, and the modern world. Described as a “new music ninja” by the Hartford Advocate, she blends lyrical melodies and dramatic narrative structures with sensual harmony and vibrant color to draw the audience into the world she has created. Her works for the concert hall, dance, and opera often differ in musical language and approach, with the common thread always being expressivity. She believes that the ability to reach one’s audience is of extreme importance in our current social, economic, and political environment. 

Jessica’s works have been performed by groups such as the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Cadillac Moon Ensemble, The Omaha Symphony’s Chamber Orchestra, the Yakima Symphony Orchestra, and the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra.  She has received awards from SCI/ASCAP, Boston Metro Opera, the College Music Society, the International Alliance for Women in Music, and others. Jessica is a 2019 Connecticut Artist Fellow, with support from the Connecticut Office of the Arts. 

Jessica is an Assistant Professor of Composition and Theory at the University of Utah.
