The Beatitudes was commissioned by the Festival Singers of Florida in honor of Dr. Kevin Fenton, their founder and artistic director, on the occasion of the choir's tenth anniversary in 2018. The composer, Dr. Troy D. Robertson, is an alumnus of the group. Dr. Fenton's passion for excellence in the choral arts cannot be oversated. The impact of his vision that by simply singing together we can bring peace throughout the world is ever expanding. He is an inspiration to everyone privileged to know him and he is truly a voice for peace.

Ron Hatley Board of Directors Liaison Festival Singers of Florida

A note from the composer: The Beatitudes are among the best known verses of the Bible. When I first considered the text as a possible subject for this piece I was at a loss as to what my approach might be. As I read the verses again and again, however, I thought about how these words must have sounded to the first ears on which they fell.

I thought about my friend Kevin Fenton and Festival Singers of Florida, and I began to see a possibility. *** The opening "crow" of the piano, quiet and in the distance, is meant to set us in the proper frame of mind. That is to say, we already know the whole story, how it ends, and we know it from several sources.

We are not the heroes of the story. Given that, the Beatitudes, far from a list of comforting assurances, are an indictment and an admonition: The lowly and weak will have their share of heaven. The rest of us have our warning - woe to us!

After the opening crow the piano paints a backdrop of idyll (either "the mount" or "the plain," depending on the Gospel). Into the midst of this peaceful repose the singers offer strange ideas: "Rich are the poor... fortunate are you who hunger... blessed are you who weep..." These odd words of comfort change to words of conviction: "Woe to you who are rich... you who are full... you who laugh now..."

In the final moments of the piece Jesus (despairingly?) asks, 2,000 years hence, "Why do you call me Lord and yet do not the things I say?" In the coda that follows, the choir meditates on the more difficult, and therefore the most radical, of these sayings.

My hope is that this piece will challenge singers (and perhaps the audience) to hear these familiar words with new ears, to hear them as the strange and radical ideas they are.
