for SATB with piano and organ This is a substantial setting of the
canticles of Mary and Simeon, suitable for performance in both
concert and liturgical settings. The choral writing features fugal
counterpoint and a chromatic soundworld rooted around the octatonic
scale. The text is in English throughout, with occasional Latin
interjections in the Magnificat. Notably, the choir is accompanied
by both piano and organ, a combination that reflects the tradition
of the Black American church in which the composer grew up, where
both instruments were used simultaneously for almost all service
music. The resulting timbral effect is quite unique, with the more
percussive piano sound twinkling over the sustained organ writing.
Bringing a fresh voice to an established genre, this setting
presents a rewarding challenge for singers and the opportunity for
congregations or audiences to appreciate familiar words in a new
way.
