Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for the choral cycle Nocturnes the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric “Sa nuit d'ete ” several melodic themes are supported by dense colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's “Soneto de la Noche ” from his Cien Sonetos de Amor speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. The a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet sereneand folk-like utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous “Sure on this Shining Night” is set much like a song from the American musical theater a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant “Voici le soir” recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.

Les Chansons des Roses-In addition to his vast output of German poetry Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) composed nearly 400 poems in French. His poems on roses struck me as especially charming filled with gorgeous lyricism deftly crafted and elegant intheir imagery. These exquisite poems are primarily light joyous and playful and the musical settings are designed to enhance these characteristics and capture the delicate beauty and sensuousness of the poetry. Distinct melodicand harmonic materials recur throughout the cycle especially between Rilke's poignant “Contre qui rose” (set as a wistful nocturne) and his moving “La rose complète.” The final piece “Dirait-on ” is composed as a tuneful chanson populaire or folksong that weaves together two melodic ideas first heard in fragmentary form in preceding movements.--Morten Lauridsen

Each of the five connected movements in this choral cycle contains references to 'Light ' assembled from various sacred Latin texts. I composed Lux Aeterna in response to my mother's final illness and found great personalcomfort and solace in setting to music these timeless and wondrous words about Light a universal symbol of illumination at all levels - spiritual artistic and intellectual.The work opens and closes with the beginning andending of the Requiem Mass with the central three movements drawn respectively from the Te Deum O Nata Lux and Veni Sancte Spiritus. The opening Introitus introduces several themes that recur later in thework and includes an extended canon on “et lux perpetua.” In Te Domine Speravi contains among other musical elements the cantus firmus “Herzliebster Jesu” (from the Nuremburg Songbook 1677) and a lengthy inverted canon on “fiat misericordia.” O Nata Lux and Veni Sancte Spiritus are paired songs the former an a cappella motet at the center of the work and the latter a spirited jubilant canticle. A quiet setting of the Agnus Dei precedes the final Lux Aeterna which reprises the opening section of the Introitus and concludes with a joyful celebratory Alleluia.--MortenLauridsen
