Ed has written a cantor, choir, and assembly-friendly setting of the Sequence for Pentecost using the approved text from The Roman Missal. The stepwise motion of the lyrical melody facilitates a quick learn. The piece begins in D major for the first four verses, modulates to E for the next three verses, moves to F for verses 8 and 9, and concludes with the final verse in G. The interval relationships are the same with each modulation, highlighting the words and adding a sense of urgency. The octavo includes a keyboard part, but you will note that this can be performed with just a simple guitar accompaniment. And, guitar pages are included in the octavo.

The chant-like treatment of the Psalm verses, in addition to creating a simply lovely setting, can also be a great exercise in sensitively conveying the meaning of the words through proper textual stress—a skill that can be applied to less lyrical pieces in the choral repertoire. The voice parts are minimal in scope (each roughly an octave), but the fluctuating accidentals will require some attention for tuning.

UPC: 785147939207. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 23. Text by John Quincy Adams. Scripture: Psalm 23.
Although best known as the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams’ great desire was to write poetry, upon hearing his words set to music by one of his contemporaries, he exclaimed his delight “as the organ pealed and the choir of voices sung the praise of Almighty God from the soul of David, adapted to my native tongue by me.” This setting was written for SAB choir, however, it could be sung by an SSA ensemble as well. The tune is original, but Meyer has written in the style of the music that Adams might have heard in his day.

UPC: 785147995906. English. Text by Sara Teasdale.
For three-part mixed or three-part equal voices this setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem, “Refuge” includes an intriguing introduction that organically repeats the word “refuge” in a number of languages. The angst of Teasdale’s poetry is reflected in the driving accompaniment and shifting meters. Adding a variety of percussion instruments to this work will enhance the overall performance. .
