This original gospel-style piece written for soprano

spirited and full of energy. Employing rhythms and
harmonies influenced by jazz and blues, this piece

O Clap Your Hands—Stephen Chatman. This
fast, energetic work surges forward with con-
stant syncopation, highly influenced by both jazz
and gospel idioms. It mixes a treble solo, pandia-
tonicism with chromatic harmonies over repeated
melodic lines and texts, mixed meters, handclaps,
and explosive piano passages to create a truly
unique but accessible musical work that builds to
a climactic and resounding ending. The text from
Psalm 47 has been translated and adapted.

t O Tell Me Where the Dove Has Flown—
James McCullough. This haunting folk tune
(pensive dove) is classified as Type I, which are
hymns sung to settings of traditional ballad tunes.
This classification was devised by Phillips Barry
who was a pioneering early American folk-hymn
specialist and folk-tune collector. The melody is
in the Dorian mode and is repeated five times, but
with the presentation of each verse, new ideas,
lines, and harmonies are added and explored,
changing the flavor but letting the character
remain the same. A beautiful a cappella setting of
a traditional folk tune.

tonality. Requires soloists in all voice parts and an
excellent accompanist at the keyboard.
