Phillip Faber

Happy The Man

Words: John Dryden

(2019)

Mixed choir (SATB div.)

Commissioned by Akademisk Kor Ă…rhus and my dear friend, conductor Jonas Rasmussen. The work should be sung with attention to the linear, in order to give life to the polytonal textures.

The words are intended to be performed with as natural stress as possible, also when crossing the measures' beat patterns.

Duration c. 5 minutes Phillip Faber

Happy the Man Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Be fair or foul or rain or shine The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.

Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

John Dryden
