In the beginning God created the heav’n and the earth; and the earth was without form, and void; and the darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters; and God said: Let there be Light, and there was Light.
And God saw the Light, that it was good: and God divided Light from the darkness.
Die Schöpfung, or The Creation, was composed in 1797 and 1798, and depicts the creation story of Genesis 1. The text used three sources: Genesis, the book of Psalms, and John Milton’s Paradise Lost as inspiration. Haydn worked with his friend, Gottfried van Swieten, to have the text translated from English to German, and then back again in a way to fit the rhythm of Haydn’s music. This sometimes led to awkward phrasings but allowed the oratorio to be published in both German and English. The oratorio is structured into three parts and opens with an orchestra-only

movement that is Haydn’s version of creating order from chaos. The singing begins with a soloist sharing the opening verses of Genesis 1.
Singkap Siaga Tracy Wong
Shakeira Simmons • Aliyah Del Rosario • Ana Rippentrop • Emily Christman SOLOISTS
Singkap means to open, reveal, or a quick change
Siaga means ever ready
Singkap Siaga was commissioned in 2020 by the Sonic Timelapse Project, a choral commissioning project created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The composer writes that she drew inspiration from the almost-extinct Malay tradition of shadow puppet theater and its music, Wayang Kulit Kelantan. She writes: “I remember learning how to make these puppets in school in Malaysia. This artform reminded me how light and shadow are equal in beauty, thus shifting my perspective of ‘shadow’ and ‘darkness’ having negative connotations.” Much of the music is vocables, based on pre-existing equivalent vocal stylings of Wayant Kulit Kelantan.
“The Heavens are Telling” from The Creation
Catherine McCord Larsen SOPRANO
Ezechiel Daos TENOR
Daniel Greco BARITONE
Tyler Buhr CONDUCTOR
The heavens are telling the glory of God, the wonder of His work displays the firmament. Today that is coming speak it the day. The night that is gone to following night. In all the lands resounds the word, never unperceived, ever understood.
F. J. Haydn
The heavens are telling the glory of God. The wonder of His work displays the firmament.
The Heavens are Telling, the fourteenth movement in The Creation, is placed within the oratorio to represent the celebration of Day 4 (unlike our program, which presents it as Day 2). The text is based on Psalm 19:1–3, which had also been set in J. S. Bach’s Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes. The chorus represents a chorus of angels, and the trio represents the angels Gabriel (soprano), Uriel (tenor), and Raphael (bass).
DAY 3 Rain Come Down
Donte Edwards, Jr. • Sydney Raley SOLOISTS
Caleb Panning • Adaline Nass DUET
Thomas Baker-Trinity • Tessera Rippentrop • Jade Stuart • Henry Schell Podoll
Luke Baker-Trinity • McKayla Sagini SMALL GROUP
Come, rain, come down. Come, rain, come down. Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.
Say no words, it is too soon, say no words out loud. But wrap your quiet arms around, hide us in your cloud.
Come wash away this grief and pain, And let all hearts be clean.
And bring the fairest flowers to meet The sorrows we have seen.
A little lower than the angels we were born to be, Yet which of all the creatures knows this misery?
Come, rain, come down. Come, rain, come down. Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.
Shawn Kirchner wrote the music to Rain Come Down in response to the 1999 Columbine school shooting. He also connects this piece to his own experience with
Shawn Kirchner
his mother being killed the previous year. The text “Come, rain, come down” is a Kyrie, a request for relief from pain and grief. The text was written by the composer.
DAY 4 Stars I Shall Find Victor C. Johnson
There will be rest, and sure stars shining over the rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest, serene forgetting, the music of stillness, holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising, out of a dream in my lonely mind. I shall find the crystal of peace, above me.
Sara Teasdale
Day 4 includes text by Sara Teasdale in Stars I Shall Find and text by the composer in Grow. Teasdale was often sick in her youth, and often by herself, eating and sleeping alone. She also suffered from depression. She saw the stars as a symbol of peace and calm. Victor Johnson, a musician based in Texas, crafted this TBB piece in ABA form, with the B section employing con moto (with motion). Quartel composes engaging repertoire in hopes of transformative musical experiences. Deeply inspired by the life-changing relationships that can occur while making choral music, Quartel writes in a way that connects singer to singer, ensemble to conductor, and performer to audience.
Grow
Tyler Buhr CONDUCTOR
When spring is here again, and rains are warm, When birds begin to sing and winds are calm, When spring is here again then you will know, When the earth begins to warm, you can grow.
You can grow. Blossom and grow. Like a tree with branches budding, Like a flow’r in spring
Sarah Quartel
When I think of what we’ve seen and all we know, When I look at where we’ve been and where we’ll go, I know spring will come again and we will know, When the earth begins to warm, you can grow.
You can grow. Like a bird with wings unfolding, Like a child with dreams beginning, Like a tree with branches budding, Like a flow’r in spring,
You can grow.
Alexander Montalvo
Aiden Kocian BASS
Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein, Wenn alle Knospen springen, Da mag ich gerne mittendrein Eins singen.
Wie mir zu Mut in Leid und Lust, Im Wachen und im Träumen, Das stimm’ ich an aus voller Brust Den Bäumen.
Und sie verstehen mich gar fein, Die Blätter alle lauschen, Und fall’n am rechten Orte ein Mit Rauschen.
1805–1847
In the forest, in the bright sunshine, When all the buds spring open–There I, in their midst, like To sing a song.
How I feel in suffering and joy, In waking and in dreaming I sing that song to the trees
At the top of my lungs.
And they understand me very well; The leaves all listen And join in at the right time With rustling.
DAY 5 Im Wald Fanny Hensel
Danielle Harrington SOPRANO
Johanna Makela ALTO
TENOR
Und weiter wandelt schall und Hall In Wipfeln, Fels und Büschen, Hell Schmettert auch Frau Nachtigall Dazwischen.
Da fühlt die Brust am eignen Klang, Sie darf sich was erkühnen–O frische Lust: Gesang! Gesang im Grünen!
And the sounds resound further In treetops, rocks, and bushes. Mrs. Nightingale also warbles clearly in their midst.
There the heart feels from its own sound that it may venture something. O fresh joy! Song! Song in the greenery!
Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn) was a pianist and composer. Growing up in Berlin, she had the same education as her brother, Felix. Many of her works were not published in her life, and some appeared under the name of her brother. Im Wald, from Gartenlieder, Op. 3, was published under her name in 1846. Nature was a source of inspiration for many German romantic poets, supplying beautiful imagery and analogies for joys and struggles of humanity. Gartenlieder was a set of six songs meant to be sung outdoors. In ABA form, the B section is sung by a quartet in tonight’s performance.
DAY 6 O God, Be All My Love
O God, be all my love, my hope, all my striving; Let my thoughts and words flow from You, My daily life be in You, And every breath I take be in You. Amen.
St. John Cassian
Remel Derrick
O God, Be All My Love was written by Remel Derrick while he was going through a tough period during college. He was struck by the text of St. John Cassian, a Christian monk and theologian, who brought early Christian monasticism to the medieval West. The final chord, an F-sharp major chord with an added second coming from E major, is meant to symbolize the transformation that can take place when one develops a personal, trusting relationship with God.
DAY 7
Africa
William Billings 1746–1800
Now shall my inward joy arise, and burst into a song; Almighty Love inspires my heart, and Pleasure tunes my tongue.
God on his thirsty Sion-Hill, some Mercy-Drops has thrown, And solemn Oaths have bound his Love to show’r Salvation down.
Why do we then indulge our Fears, Suspicions, and Complaints?
Is He a God, and shall His Grace grow weary of his saints?
Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, and Mothers Monsters prove, Sion still dwells upon the Heart of everlasting Love.
Isaac Watts
Africa, as it is sung by the LSM Festival Choir, has text by Isaac Watts. Billings named tunes (similar to other composers of his place and time), as text was often replaced based on purpose and intention. Billings is regarded as the first American choral composer, and unfortunately did not receive royalties for his compositions, since copyright laws were not yet codified. His music fell out of favor when he died, but there was a renewed interest in his music during the second half of the twentieth century.
Venga nel nostro coro
Antonio Salieri 1750–1825
Venga nel nostro coro chi viver vuol contento chi solo senza stento la pace troverà.
Come to our choir whoever wants to live happy, those who will find peace without difficulty.
Venga nel nostro coro is a canon that can be constructed in a variety of ways. Salieri was a pivotal figure in late eighteenth-century opera, and heavily influenced composers of his time. There was a revival of his music in the late twentieth century,
largely due to the movie Amadeus, although there is no evidence that Salieri poisoned Mozart. In fact, they were likely respectful colleagues, and Salieri was heavily affected by accusations of a perceived rift between him and Mozart. Very few of his works remain extant, and he hinted later in life that they may have been purposely destroyed.
Ngothando Mbuso Ndlovu
David Eyler • Dana LeVan PERCUSSION
Jade Stuart • Bethany Drawbaugh • Rebecca Tredray SPEAKERS
Ngothando kuphela, Sonqooba konke, Lzimo zonke, Azinakusigwinya.
Sivul’ iinhliziyo zethu, Singesabi lutho, Ngothando …
Through love, only, We will conquer everything, All situations, Cannot swallow (devour) us. Let us open our hearts, And let us fear nothing, Through love.
Ngothando is an original composition, written in IsiZulu, one of the official languages of South Africa. The composer writes: “The song is a message to the rest of the world that it is only through love that we can conquer the barriers that stand between us, the poverty and disease that surround us. Let’s open our hearts, and not fear the unknown. Let’s search deep within ourselves, knowing that we do have enough resources.”
EVENING PRAYER
Following acknowledgement of the performers, we conclude with song and prayer
