for SSATB Choir, unaccompanied | 6' | An English translation of the poem “Friede auf Erden” by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898) is set for SSATB choir unaccompanied. Referencing the Christmas story, this setting brings to life the text with lush harmonies freely changing key centers as the story progresses. Each of the four stanzas ends with a variation on the musical material […] | ||||
for SATB choir | 9'30" | The Vocális Chamber Choir commissioned Songs of Crystal for their 15th anniversary.

for SATB choir | 6' | This poignant setting of a poem by Christina Rossetti is dedicated to the memory of Michael Friedman, a dear friend, songwriter, lyricist, and composer, who died too young. The opening two notes (C#-D), at first soft and pensive, lengthen to a three-note motive (C#-D-F#) that is woven into the texture of the six-minute piece, a […] | ||||
for SATB chorus | 4' | A charming setting of a Carl Sandburg poem for a cappella chorus (SATB) laden with evocative images of shooting stars and seahorses. | ||||

for SATB choir a cappella (brief divisi, section or individual treble solo) | 5' | This is a tuneful, contemporary setting of a multi-verse carol for choir a cappella using an original melody. It starts with a statement by the alto section and gradually adds parts and harmonic variations. The unusual time signature of 5/4 provides a lilt and propels the piece forward. All parts sing the melody along the […] | ||||
for SATB chorus and piano/organ | 4' | Sim Shalom is a solemn Hebrew prayer in D minor accompanied by piano or organ.
