Congregation or Audience, Organ
and Piano 4’ 20 pgs.

Commissioned for Pat Ruigh (Organist, Chorister and Accompanist) by the First United Methodist Church Chancel Choir, Iowa Falls, IA, Richard Dewein, conductor.

Genius of the Wood
SDG 07-301, Treble Chorus $4.75
Pipe Organ, 7’, 24 Pgs.,

Genius of the Wood was commissioned for the Peace College Chamber Singers of Raleigh, NC, for their performances at the College’s sesquicentennial and the Singers’ 2007 European Tour. The text from John Milton’s Il Penseroso determines the work’s five sections. The piece awakens with the quietest breath from the organ, followed by a sweet and free canon in the voices. The voices coax the organ to unleash, slightly reminiscent of Tschaikovsky, until dissolved into ecstasy as all Heav’n is brought before our eyes.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo! was written on commission from Dan Nelson for the Edina High School Choirs, Edina, Minnesota. In both its original SSAA setting and in the SATB version, it is a vibrant, intense setting of a small portion of the Gloria text. Its rhythmic variety is immediately apparent and combines beautifully with varied vocal textures throughout. The choral score includes, on its last two pages, an optional synthesizer part to be used in conjunction with the piano part.

God Be In My Head
SDG 93-104 Male Chorus $1.25
SDG 93-105 Treble Chorus
SDG 93-106 Mixed Chorus
a cappella 3.5’ 8 pgs.

God Be In My Head was commissioned by Gary Schwartzhoff and the Singing Statesmen at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. It is structured around original chant-like melodic fragments which are hinted at in the optional “celebrant” solo at the start of the piece and then fully stated in the first three ad libitum measures before being interpolated throughout the remainder of the work. Expressive throughout, the setting exploits the dynamic and vocal ranges of the chorus while exploring both mixtures and combinations of tertian and quartal harmonic structures.
