Longfellow's poem The Day is Done speaks of evening as the time when poetry and music come alive and soothe the cares of day. The musical setting presents the opening lyrics in the children’s voices: The day is done and the darkness falls from the wings of night. These phrases or slight variations thereof return as refrains throughout the song. The verses alternate between the men’s and women’s voices with the children interjecting refrains or offering commentary in the background. Finally the children interrupt the SATB dialogue with exclamations of a song! a song! a song! These lead to the climax of the song given to the children’s chorus singing And the nightshall be filled with music. All voices then join together in celebration: Our song shall fill the night. The accompaniment (originally composed for piano later adapted for flute strings and percussion) delights in text-setting with sparkling arpeggios depicting the celestial harmonies and filigree patterns for the star-filled night sky.

From I've Known Rivers

From I've Known Rivers

Flourish for Fanfare was commissioned by Fanfare CWO Groningen to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018. It opens with a fanfare on flugel horns and trumpets under saxophone trills which gradually subside to introduce a trio for the trombones. This builds and leads back to the opening fanfare which is interrupted by a slower hymn-like passage on lower brass. A saxophone chorale follows and is repeated by the full band leading to a dramatic molto vivo . The trombones then introduce a new theme derived from their original trio which is developed until the horns take centre stage and introduce a change of mood. This builds to a climax before a contrasting themeemerges on saxes and euphoniums. The trombone theme then returns to introduce a triumphant version of the saxophone chorale which drives the work back to a coda based on the opening fanfare.

This piece may be performed as part of a collection of four Whitman settings under the master title This Is Thy Hour. A majestic opening heralds the hour that unfolds to a rhythmic ostinato that acts as the underpinning for the text of This Is Thy Hour. A plaintive middle section contrasts with legato vocal lines for the text “thee fully forth emerging.” The work concludes revisiting the opening material and ends with triumphant homophonic chords before ending with a restatement of the softer middle section expressing the wonder of that which the poet loves best.

This lyrical setting of a poem by Sara Teasdale was commissioned as a gift for a consortium of seven high school choirs in Illinois.
