A Christmas Poem
Medium High Voice, Piano | 2004 | Text: Henry Scholberg | Available from composer
At the Cross
2-part mixed, Solo
Text: Isaac Watts, Ralph Hudson, alt. | Source: Southern mountain tune | 2013 Available from Augsburg Fortress | This bluesy a cappella setting of a text on Christ's sacrifice offers a powerful addition to your Lenten music. The solo line is full of melismas, which passionately add to the mood. The strong accompanying choral lines further draw this feeling with well-placed glissandos and mid to low placement of registers.
