| Title | Three Love Songs (based on poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning) High Voice and Piano | ||||||
| Description | The first and last of these love songs based on poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning are especially related to the courtship and marriage of Elizabeth and Robert Browning. The middle song is a setting of three of the five stanzas of a poem entitled "A Woman's Shortcomings." In "How Do I Love Thee?" the dominant interval is the augmented fourth that occurs in some form each time the words, "I love thee," are sung. The motif of "let me count the ways" is heard from time to time and returns strongly at the end with the phrase, "better after death." The melodic line seeks to "paint" the words of each phrase. The waltz was the most popular dance of the 19th century. It seemed fitting to select that form for the second poem, a portion of which hints at a dance scene. The contrast of "Life" and "Love" in the final poem is brought out through a descending line in a somber mode picturing the cold stillness of "Life" and an ascending line in a bright mode picturing the warmth and joy of "Love." | ||||||

| Title | Psalm of Praise and Hope (Based on selected verses from Psalm 33) High Voice and Piano | ||||||
| Description | The three-note theme which the voice announces, "Sing, O sing," is the basis for most of the "Praise" section. Also featured is the Hebrew word, "Teruah," a shout of joy, used in much the same way as the more familiar "Hallelujah." The final shorter "Hope" section is based on a Hebrew chant used with Psalms. The harmonies are mostly quartal. Only at the end with the last repeating of "our hope in Thee," do we hear a resolution to a final major chord with a soft high sounding of the original three-note motif. This work in its entirety is intended for a concert or recital program. However, certain sections can be excerpted for use in a church service. Listed below are inclusive measure numbers for these sections. Also indicated are suggested uses in the service. Praise Solo: Measures 10-80 (for an ending repeat measures 69 and 70) Meditative Solo: Measures 83-126. Call to Prayer: Measures 231-246 (first half of the measure) Benediction: Measures 246-end | ||||||
