Hello everyone!
Peace.
Just a brief note to let you know of some new music.
First, the 'site-wide player' is now featuring "O Mother Mary Magnified." This art song was commissioned by John West of the Valyermo Dancers and is based on a poem by Fr Philip Edwards, OSB. I first performed and recorded the piano part and then added my singing to it prior to mixing and mastering it. Second, on the MUSIC page, is some new, incidental music: "The Perichoresis Waltz," an old melody I had forgotten about, now orchestrated for full orchestra.
I have uploaded the virtual instruments performance of it for your enjoyment. To listen just go the MUSIC page, scroll down and play.
"O Mother Mary Magnified" [2017]
for piano and voice
Text: Fr Philip Edwards, OSB
Piano and voice by Angelus Echeverry
O Mother — Mary — Magnified
Womb’d Word in flesh now glorified,
Bless — beck’ning still within your bride
Stone: quickened, clustered at her side
(O Mother — Mary — Magnified)
Within the paschal-sealed tide
Of grace, arch-opened wide
About what welcoming wisdom cried
In pillared banquet signified
(O Mother — Mary — Magnified)
Addition to a gathering sum
Of leaping lepers, bedazzled dumb
Dancers, singing, find you home
Augment the alleluia’d hum
Jubilating all to whom
The Spirit and the bride say,
“Come!”
