SATB with piano

Premiered at the Bay Area Choral Institute, Robert Geary, Artistic Director
Poetry by Sara Teasdale
From my spirit’s gray defeat,
From my pulse’s flagging beat,
From my hopes that turned to sand
Sifting through my close-clenched hand,
From my own fault’s slavery,
If I can sing, I still am free.
For with my singing I can make
A refuge for my spirit’s sake,
A house of shining words, to be
My fragile immortality.

Res Miranda
SATB div. with piano
Moderately Challenging
A haunting setting of the Christmas poem by 18th century author, Thomas Pestel.
Behold the great Creator makes
Himself a house of clay,
a robe of virgin flesh he takes
which he will wear today.
Hark, how the wise eternal Word,
like a an infant cries!
In form of servant now the Lord,
our God in cradle lies.
