Deus in adiutorium meum intende Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla (ca. 1590-1664) (O God, Come to My Assistance) Gabriel Fulk, tenor (incipit) O God, reach forth to my aid; O Lord, hasten to help me. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Alleluia. Refuge Elaine Hagenberg (b. 1979) Poem by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) Greg Berg, piano Willam Dowell, cello From my spirit´s gray defeat, From my pulse´s flagging beat, From my hopes that turned to sand Sifting through my close-clenched hand, From my own fault´s slavery, If I can sing, I still am free. For with my singing I can make A refuge for my spirit´s sake, A house of shining words to be My fragile immortality. This Sky
Carlos Cordero (b. 1992) Quote by Hafiz (1315-1390) Translated by Daniel Ladinsky This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings, so love!

And the Sun Slept David Godbold (b. 1993) Based on the poem “Sunset” Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) The river sleeps beneath the sky, And clasps the shadows to its breast; The crescent moon shines dim on high; And in the lately radiant west The gold is fading into gray. Now stills the lark his festive lay, And mourns with me the dying day. While in the south the first faint star Lifts to the night its silver face, And twinkles to the moon afar Across the heaven’s graying space, Low murmurs reach me from the town, As Day puts on her sombre crown, And shakes her mantle darkly down. Abide With Me
William Henry Monk arranged by Hale Smith (1925-2009) Abide with me, fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me Castle House Rag
James Reese Europe (1881-1918) arranged by Hale Smith
