This mystical poem by the Cuban poet José MartÃ, depicts the Christ Child riding on a desert lion. I set this for three women's voices and obbligato flute, one of a series of works with similar textures. Some have piano, some only two voices.It can be performed with solo voices or a women's chorus. It may be used as a concert piece, as music in a church service, or as part of an Advent or Christmas presentation.Yo sueño con los ojosAbiertos, y de dÃaY noche siempre sueño.Y sobre las espumasDel ancho mar revuelto,Y por entre las crespasArenas del desierto,Y del león pujante,Monarca de mi pecho,Montado alegrementeSobre el sumiso cuello.Un niño que me llamaFlotando siempre veo!– José Martà (1853-1895)I dream with eyesOpen, and by dayAnd night always dream.And above the wavesOf the broad, restless sea,And among the crestingSands of the desertAnd the powerful lion,Ruler of my heartRiding joyfullyOn whose submissive neckA child who calls to me,Floating, always, I see2'15facebook.com/RichardArnestASCAPLicense for 30 singers

Choral Choir (SATB) - Digital Download SKU: A0.912863 Composed by Richard Arnest. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. MUC #2928249. Published by MUC (A0.912863). The Wassail Song exists in many variants throughout the British Isles. I'm not familiar with another that uses the term 'leathern ratchin skin.' I find the regional variants in tune and text charming. There is no 'Urtext.' It gives a window into the time of tradition, before the rise of mass communication.I made this arrangement for a chorus I sing with; they premiered it on their 2006 holiday program. Take the 'flexible' sections as a choral recitative .. it will come round right. LICENSED FOR 30 COPIES3'20facebook.com/RichardArnestASCAP

A trio of flutes playing a Christmas carol with handbells creates a joyous, even angelic, sound.

Small Ensemble Cello,Flute,Viola,Violin - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.912865 Composed by Michael Prætorius. Arranged by Richard Arnest. Christian,Christmas,Concert,Renaissance. Score and parts. 28 pages. MUC #2926359. Published by MUC (A0.912865). The music of Michael Prætorius (1571-1621) continues to be played, most often at Christmas. This deceptively simple tune trades voice pairs and stays with the hearer. Prætorius published it in his book Musæ Sioniæ (1609). The text is 'macaronic' - which means it contains verses in multiple languages. The text begins in Latin, switches to German, then repeats the Latin phrase. This was a fairly common usage around 1600.This instrumental piece can be performed on studio programs, as special music in a church service, particularly a service of lessons and carols. It is also a useful seasonal concert piece and can be used as incidental music for holiday celebration.Psallite, unigenitoChristo Dei FilioRedemptori Domino, puerulo, iacenti in praesepio.Ein kleines Kindeleinliegt in dem KrippeleinAlle liebe Engeleindienen dem Kindeleinund singen ihm feinSing to Christ,The only begotten Son of GodThe Redeemer of the Lord,A child lying in a mangerA small ChildLies in the mangerAll the blessed angelsServe HimAnd sing to Him.3'30facebook.com/RichardArnestASCAP

Individual part. 4 pages. Richard St. Clair #1072569. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.1496035). This short (2'30) but earnest organ piece may be found useful in any liturgical situation, though it was conceived as an Easter piece on the Resurrection of Christ, a.k.a. The Cross Triumphant. It starts in the stearn key of E minor, modulates then returns to E minor with a cadence on brilliant E major, symbolizing Christ's victory over death securing our salvation and life eternal.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.912862 Composed by MUC. Christian,Contemporary. Octavo. 6 pages. MUC #2924311. Published by MUC (A0.912862). Those Who Are Wise, an anthem for SATB choir with obbligato bassoon and text from the Book of Daniel, inspires wistful and tantalizingly beautiful images which I hope to have captured.The very quiet piece should be sung throughout with a straight tone. The dynamic indications are not exaggerated: diminuendos at the ends of phrases should be taken to nothing. If singers run out of breath while holding one of these notes they should not rearticulate the pitch. The bassoon - which you may take as the voice of wisdom - must never be covered by the voices.The anthem is suitable for any memorial service or as special service music.Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the skyand those who lead many to righteousnesslike the stars forever and ever- Daniel 12:3 The cover image, taken by the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. Berkeley 59 and NGC 7822 are in the constellation Cepheus, at a distance of about 3,300 light-years from Earth.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939673 Composed by Richard St. Clair. 20th Century,Contemporary. Octavo. 13 pages. Richard St. Clair #3000545. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.939673). These words were composed by Genshin Shonin (Japan, 11th c. CE), one of the seven Pure Land Masters named by Shinran Shonin (Japan, 1173-1262), founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect of True Shin Buddhism. The MP3 Audio File is a computer-generated soundfile. Duration, about 5 minutes.Lyrics:Dharma Words at Yokawa by Genshin Shonin (942-1017)It is a great joy for us sentient beings to escape from the three evil realms and be born as humans. Even if our status in society is low, could it be worse than the state of animals? Even if we are born in a poor family, we are in a far better condition than hungry spirits. Even if our wishes are not fulfilled, our suffering cannot be compared with the tortures of hell. We should not sorrow over unhappiness in this life; we should consider our lower social position as an incentive to seek Enlightenment. For this reason, we should rejoice at having been born as humans.Even though the mind of faith is shallow, anyone who takes refuge in Amida Buddhawill unfailingly attain birth, because the Original Vow is sdeep. Even though the Nembutsu comes from a reluctant heart,anyone who recites it never fails to see Amida welcoming him to his Pure Land; so great is the merit of the Nembutsu. For this reason, we should rejoice at having encountered the Original Vow.Delusion is the nature of ordinary beings. Apart from delusion, there is no mind in us. If we recite the Nembutsu while resigned to the fact that we are to remain ordinary beings full of delusion until death, we shall be received in welcome by Amida; then, as soon as we mount the lotus seat, our mind of delusion will be turned into that of Enlightenment. The Nembutsu that is uttered with the mind of delusion is like a lotus flower unstained by the muddy water. There should not be any doubt as to our attainment of birth.We should not be concerned about our delusion, but reflecting on the shallowness of our mind of faith, continually recite the Name in earnest.
