for SATB and organ, with optional congregation Commissioned for the
American Guild of Organists 2014 National Convention in Boston,
Mass., Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round is a joyful and
exuberant setting of the well-known hymn by John Chadwick. It
begins with a rich organ introduction before the choir (and
congregation) join in with a unison presentation of the melody. The

Try me, good King is a group of five songs drawn from the final
letters and gallows speeches of the first five wives of King Henry
VIII. The cycle is a psychologically intense monodrama that
presents technical challenges to both performers. Each song is
named after one of the five wives, and is interwoven with lute
songs composed during the Elizabethan period. In the words of the
composer, these interwoven lute songs 'create a tapestry of unsung
works which comment on the real situation of each doomed queen'.

based on three separate texts by Emily Dickinson, Charles Wilson,
and Jan Kimes that celebrate women.
