Nunc Dimittis (3 versions)

1) Scoring: SATB choir and organ
Date: 2016 (revised 2018)
The "Nunc Dimittis" is sung at every choral Evensong or Vespers, with the words of the prophet Simeon (Luke 2:29-32) on seeing the child Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem. Here the canticle is set in English ("Lord, now your servant depart in peace") for SATB choir and organ. 
It has a grand opening in D minor ("My eyes have seen your light"), followed by the main canticle text set in a rich D flat major tune. The opening theme returns towards the end, and the piece finishes with a glorious "Glory be to the Father... Amen." 
The canticle would also be particularly appropriate at Candlemas celebrations, as well as at services expressing "letting go..."

Words:

My eyes, O Lord, have seen your light.

Lord now let your servant depart in peace,
according to your word,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of every people.

Lord now let your servant depart in peace,
according to your word,
A light to reveal you to the nations,
and to be the glory of Israel your people.

My eyes, O Lord, have seen your light.
The light of your salvation reveals you to the nations.
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.

My eyes, O Lord, have seen your light.

Amen.

Easter Carol

Version 1 scoring: SATB choir and piano
Date: 2015
A very easy SATB setting of words by Bishop Phillips Brooks (who also wrote "O Little Town of Bethlehem") called "An Easter Carol". It is particularly suitable for Easter Day itself, although it would be appropriate at other times during the Easter season. The lyrics express freedom and new life, and the setting is intended to be enjoyable and singable by any mixed 4-part church choir. Verse meter: 88. 77. 77 (trochaic)

Words:
1.
Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right.
Faith and Hope triumphant say,
Christ will rise on Easter-Day.

2.
While the patient earth lies waking,
Till the glow of morn is breaking,
Shuddering 'neath the burden dread
Of her Master, cold and dead,
Hark! she hears the angels say,
Christ will rise on Easter-Day.

3.
And when sunrise strikes the mountains,
Pouring light from heavenly fountains,
Then the earth blooms out to greet
Once again the blessed feet;
And her countless voices say,
Christ has risen on Easter-Day.

4.
Up and down our lives obedient
Walk, dear Christ, with footsteps radiant,
Till a garden we shall be
Fair with fruits and flowers for Thee;
And our thankful spirits say,
Christ arose on Easter-Day.

By Bishop Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) (adapted)
