English, Spanish. Text source: Misa Popular Nicaraguense; Translation: Alice Parker.
From the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship series comes a tantalizing offering for thanksgiving and preparation of gifts. “Te Ofrecemos Padres Nuestro” from “Misa Popular Nicaragüense” has a definite dancelike Latin flair with contrasting three-against-two rhythms. Alice Parker provides a fine English translation, but it would be well worth the effort for Anglo choirs to try their hand at the Spanish, if only the final “Gloria” section. An exciting work with a stunning, ecstatic conclusion.

A multi-movement work for choir, piano, and cello from Alice Parker using several Emily Dickinson poems. Expertly crafted vocals that are both complex and singable.

“O Sing the Glories” is an original work by Alice Parker, who is known primarily for her masterful arrangements. A festive, unaccompanied hymn-anthem that begins each stanza with an ascending scale incorporating a phrygianesque raised fourth. The seven brief stanzas are SATB, TB, SA, SATB, SAT, a quieter SATBB (with layered entrances from the lower voices upward), and a resounding final stanza with the tune in the tenor, while all other voices freely decorate around the melody.
