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.
Eminent conductor and organist John Romeri, music director at Christ Cathedral in Orange County, interviewed me for his radio program “Music from the Tower.” It will be broadcast on KHJ 930 AM and KCEO 1000 AM on Saturday, November 3.
