These Last Gifts, for a cappella chorus, is a setting of Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of an elegiac poem by the Latin poet Gaius Valerius Catullus (84-54 BC). The poem spoke powerfully to me as it addresses the premature death of a brother, something I experienced myself. It was on a journey to Bithynia, what is today a part of northwestern Turkey, that Catullus visited the grave of his brother and wrote this lament. The work was premiered by the Harmonium Choral Society of Morristown, New Jersey, Anne Matlack, Artistic Director. SATB Chorus, a cappella Duration: 5'30 Composed: 2015 Published by: Distributed Composer Minimum order quantity: 8 copies. To order quantities fewer than 8.

“Tek Kapidan†is a Turkish folk song in which the choir shares a young girl's musings about her boyfriend, who was killed in an accident. She reminisces about their past times together and wishes for the old days when they were together. She says how much more important being with him was than the material things in life. Sopranos and altos alternate solo sections with the tenors and basses in this arrangement.
