|) Crain Song (No.7) ifr _ Dimitri Bortniansky
arr. Kenneth Downing
Like a choir of angels solemn,
Solemn gathTring through the air,
Bring we to our heav'nly Father, life bestowing,
Thrice sacred song and prayTr
Far from our hearts on this blessed day
Do we drive each earthly care away.
Like a King of All shall we praise Thee,
Thou Lord unseen, by angel bosts adored.
Hallelujah!
} ,) Think On Me FA | James Mulholland
When I no more behold thee,
Think on me,
By all thine eyes have told me,
Think on me.
When hearts are lightest,
When eyes are brightest,
When griefs are slightest
Think on me.
In all think bours of gladness,
Think on me,
If eer I soothed thy sadness,
Think on me.
When foes are by thee,
When woes are nigh thee,
When friends all fly ther
Think on me.
Think on me,
When no fond beart is near thee,
Think on me.
When lonely sighing,
Over pleasure flying,
When bope is dying,
Think on me.

Rondeau 24 Carl Zytowski
tL
Thou fool! If madness be so rife, that spite of wit, thouTlt have a wife, I'll tell thee what thou must expect;
after the honeymoon, neglect, all the sad days of thy whole life.
Thou fool! To that « world of woe and strife, which is of marriage the effect;
and thou thy woe's own architect.
Thou fool! ThouTlt nothing find but disrespect, ill words IT the scolding dialect,
for she'll all tabor be or fife!
Then prithee go and whet thy knife!
And from this fate thyself protect, Thou fool!
(Gm your foot! #, Aaron Copland
from The Tender Land
Stomp your foot upon the floor. Throw the windows open.
Take a breath of fresh June air, and dance a-round the room.
The air is free, the night is warm, the musicTs here, and bereTs my bome.
Men must labor to be bappy, plowing fields and planting rows,
but ladies love a life thatTs easy, churning butter, milking cows.
Churning butter, milking cows, gathering eges, feeding sows,
mending, cooking, cleaning, ironing, raising families.
Ladies love their fine amusement, putting patches in a quill,
but men prefer to bend their shoulder to something that will stand when built.
Dancing ladies, making matches, playing games, singing snatches,
Romping, frisking, winking, whistling, raising families.

God's own time is the very best of times.
In him living, moving, we exist, as long as be wills.
In bim shall we die at the right time, when be wills.
Ab, Lord, teach us to remember
that our death is certain, that we might gain wisdom.
Set ready thine house;
for thou shalt perish and not continue living!
This is the ancient law: man, thou must perish!
Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
Into thine bands now do I commit mry soul;
for thou bast redeemed me, Lord, thou my faithful God.
This day shalt thou-with me in paradise be.
In peace and joy do I depart
As God doth will itT
Consoled am I in heart and mind,
Calm and quiet.
As God me bis promise gave:
My death is changed to slumber.

Lay a Garland ~o Robert Pearsall 7
Lay a garland on her hearse of dismal yew;
Maidens, willow branches wear;
Say, she died true, ber love was false, but she was firm. :
Upon her buried body lie lightly, thou gentle earth.

Fear and trembling bave taken bold of me,
: Timor et tremor venerunt super me, and darkness bas descended upon me.
: et caligo cecidit super me. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, bave merry,
Miserere mei, Domine, miserere, for nry soul bas trusted in thee.
quoniam in te confidit anima mea. ~ Hear, O God, my supplication,
Exaudi Deus deprecationen meam, for thou art my refuge and strength; :
quia refugium meum es tu et adjutor fortis; O Lord, I bave called upon thee,

(6) TI. Hymn to Vena
Vena comes born of light,
He drives the many colourTd clouds onward
Here, where the sunlight and the waters mingle
Our songs float up and caress the newborn infant,
Vena comes.
The child of doud and mist appeareth on the ridge of the sky,
He shines on the summit of creation,
The hosts prodaim the glory of our Common Father,
Vena comes.
He hath come to the bosom of bis beloved.
Smiling on him, She beareth him to highest beavTn.
With yearning heart on thee we gaze,
O goldwingTd messenger of mighty Gods.
Wise men see bim in their libations
As the sacrifice mounts to the eternal beights,
Mingling with our solenin chant.
He erect in highest beavTn,
Clad in noble raiment,
Armd with shining weapons,
Hurling light to the farthest region,
Rejoicing in bis radiant splendour.
~your eyes show me bow to see again ike mirrors of water,
understanding all, thereTs no mystery they canTt solve "
a single glance is more than enough
your eyes see, listen, touch, speak, are beacons on the borizon
shedding light on shades of life, beyond the reach of words
so I start to read your body
pausing at every mole,
as if they were commas
as if they were periods
I love to scribble on your chest,
use the muscles on your back as lines
you and I are both page and pen

Essencia de la Existencia
I. Introduccién i i
IA. Deseo
mi amor descubre objetos
sedonts maripains
se ocultan en sus dedos
sus palabras
me salpican de estrellas
bajo los dedos de mi amor la noche
brilla como relémpago
mi amor inventa mundos en que babitan
serpientes cuajadas de brillantes
Roger Bourland
SS
Anthony Maglione
my love reveals objects
silken butterflies
concealed in bis fingers
his words
splash me with stars
night shines like lightning
under the fingers of nry love
nty love invents worlds where
jeweled glittering serpents live
Se er a ee ee
mundos en que la nuisica es el mundo
mundos en que las casas
con los ojos abiertos
coniemplan el amanecer
mi amore es un loco
girasol que olvida
pedazos de sol en el silencio
~ Isabel Fraire
TI. Pasién
Enciendanme tus labios
neustros alientos perdidos
entremezclandose.
Sincroniza neustro silencio
al perezoso pasar de las horas.
Lleva el aire aromas de cacao,
neuz, canela gue me rodean.
Tiembla conmigo
con pauses paralizantes.
Quizé no pueda respira mds
sin respirarte a ti.
~ Judith Pordon
worlds where music is the world
worlds where houses
with open eyes
contemplate the dawn
nry love is a mad
sunflower that forgets
fragments of sun in the silence
Lilt me your lips,
our lost breath
intermingling.
Synchronize our silence
as lazy bours ease by.
Waft cocoa, bazelrut,
cinnamion scents around me.
Tremble with me
in paralyzing pauses.
I may no longer breathe
without breathing you.
Sharon Munden, mezzo-soprano
IM. Amor
Es
como un siempre estar contigo
cuando la brisa me toca.
Es
como el imposible olvido
de la espiga a la rosa.
Es
como vivir de muevo
en la caricia...
.. ola brisa
.. la espiga mecida en la alborada.
eSabes?
It is
like always being with you
when the breeze touches to me.
It is
as the impossible forgetfulness
of the ear to the rose.
It is
like living again
in the caress...
. «athe breeze
.. the ear rocked in the dawn.
You know?
LOVE iS ltke always
estar contigo. being with you.
- Nimia Vicé
Beginning with a rhythmic ~heartbeatT, La Essencia de la Existencia (The Essence of
Existence), expands into a frenzy of rhythmic activity, Capturing the stirring of the heart
during the awareness of romantic awakening. The longing of desire (Deseo), the intense
heat of passion (Pasién), and the simple beauty of true love (Amor) come to life through
three Spanish poems, with the assistance of modern compositional techniques within
the traditional Spanish idiom. Believing that the essence of existence is none other than
to love, the return of the heartbeat figure, fading into the distance, reminds one of the
strong ties between the heart and the human soul. La Essencia de la Existencia was composed
specifically for che East Carolina University Women's Chorale. Mr. Maglione is currently
a graduate student working towards a M.M. in Choral Conducting Performance.
