To Music
Word painting of a raw, intense poem by Paul Cummings is the essence of this homage to the miracle of music, which begins: Your harmony invades my being; / my body is captured by the embrace / of a melody that leads me out of dark places.
Te cubrirá
A flowing Spanish setting from Psalm 90 (91): The Lord will overshadow you with his pinions, and you will find refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will encompass you with a shield.
I Think of Thee
This marvelous love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is dynamically dressed with a rich palette of word painting.
As part of their Jubilate celebrations, the National Children’s Chorus performed Gibson’s Dona nobis pacem/Grant Us peace at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York on December 14, and at the Broad Theatre in Santa Monica on December 21, led by Artistic Director Luke McEndarfer.
