Who is "Dear Billy Boy"? At the end of the 17th century, the area in Northern Ireland known as Ulster saw an influx of immigrants, mostly from Scotland. Many fought in the Williamite War on the side of King William III of Orange, affectionately nicknamed “King Billy.” Beginning in 1710, hundreds of thousands of these folk participated in a second migration to the American Colonies through Pennsylvania and into Appalachia, where they eventually became known as the Scotch- or Scots-Irish. Supporters of “King Billy” were often called “Billy Boys,” and “Billy Boys of the Hills,” which may even be one of the original derivations for the term “Hill Billy!"

My song Billy Boy tells the story of one of these early archetypical immigrants – a veteran of King William’s wars, weary of the world and looking for a new home. Perhaps Billy plans to bring his wife over from Lough Neagh, a beautiful lake in Ulster, after he has settled? Equally possible is that Billy has fled his life in Ulster for good, including his wife, and his nostalgia is as much regret for his actions as sadness for what he has lost.

L A N

The music features a poignant minor key mountain melody, set for piano and fiddle. Bluegrass music is the modern-day descendent of the folk songs that these Scots-Irish immigrants brought to Appalachia, so the inclusion of a “string band” of mandolin, banjo, guitar, bass, and perhaps dobro or even penny whistle can add a level of texture and complexity. Available on iTunes from Salt Lake Vocal Artists from their CD of my works: “Dear Appalachia: Come Away to the Skies

O I T A

I hope you enjoy Billy Boy!

Performance notes

gliss.

Lean into a steady slide/bend in pitch.

staggered

Stagger the given idea (each repeat 2 - 3 times). Assign a few 'leaders' to sing as written. All others follow like an echo that fades away. The dotted brackets show approximately when all 'echos' should be complete.

N

Same as above, (i.e. enter at different times) but all sustain the idea together after seperate attacks and then cut off and move to the next idea together. Re-enter 2 - 3 times. The dotted brackets show approximately when all entires should have occured. As for the regular 'staggered' indication (above), it is helpful to assign a few leaders to sing as written.

boxed ideas

L A N

O I T A

staggered entry

A D C

A

Repeat the given idea (individually). Continue until the line ends or a new idea is notated.

recitation

A tremolo marked over a note indicates that the given text should be recited repeatedly on the noted pitch.

morph

Morph gradually from a the first indicated sound the second (in this case, after a brief forte ah, close to a piano "mm" then morph and cresc. to an open forte "ah").

O I T A Text:

This song we sing is our hearts' vow to you, O God of Peace. Please send your Dove, your Spirit of Love, to help our torments cease. The world is tired of war and blood and fear, the tears we've cried, the pain inside: O Spirit, draw us near.

A D C

So keep us true to our hearts' vow to show the world your love. May bias wane and joy remain as we sing to You above. We pray, O God, You take away our fear, the tears we've cried, the pain inside: O Spirit, draw us near.

48 Lotus Flower, commissioned by Ruth Ballenger and dedicated to The Ramona Convent Secondary School Chamber Singers, sets the beau*ful poem by Analisa Vanegas (Ramona Convent Secondary School, '18) for SA Choir and Piano. The use of body percussion and rhythmic vocal lines bring out the anthemic nature of the text, which calls the younger genera*on to "value the oppressed" and "influence inspira*ons" as they grow into adults.

9 1 0 2

This piece is suitable for any treble voiced ensemble, high school choir, or choir looking to explore body percussion and syncopated rhythms.

I am a girl; Growing into a strong woman. My reali*es excel my dreams. I touch hearts and minds. Extreme passion To value the oppressed. Never take life for granted, Influence inspira*ons, And forever have faith.

About the music

9 1 0 2

The GLORIA text offers me a strong expression of gratitude and forgiveness. Life’s

hardships often keep us from realizing our blessings, but good does exist in our lives if we can pause to be just a little more thankful and more genuine with each other (especially ourselves). For me, as a believer in personal spirituality, this is its existential message… “and on earth, peace to all of good will”. The original setting of this piece was without piano and premiered in 2010 by the

Murrieta Valley High School Concert Choir conducted by Jaclyn Johnson. As choirs continued performing it acappella, the score eventually evolved into what it is now; a fanfare-like work for piano and chorus. Keeping its structure and overall sentiment the same, I wanted this newest setting to amplify all the phrases of gratitude — sometimes bursting with joy, at other times somber and bittersweet. I also wanted to showcase the

L A N

vocal and emotional strength of the ensemble performing it, as both a unified body of people and as introspective individuals.
