Cloth of Glory - David L. Brunner - Harmonium Choral Society

Dark Night of the Soul, March 2015 Under the direction of Dr. Anne J. Matlack Harmonium Choral Society Morristown United Methodist Church, Morristown, New Jersey Piano: Helen Raymaker Cello: Terrence Thornhill David L. Brunner is acclaimed as one of today's most active and versatile conductors and composers. His wide and varied expertise embraces all ages in professional, university, public school, community, church and children’s choruses. Dr. Brunner is Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at the University of Central Florida, where he conducts the University Chorus and Chamber Singers, teaches courses in conducting and music education, and coaches composition students. He has won many awards and appears nationally as a guest conductor and adjudicator. Brunner is an imaginative composer who has received yearly ASCAP awards since 1997, and in 2000, was named Raymond W. Brock Commissioned Composer by the American Choral Directors Association. Of Cloth of Glory he explains: It is not often that composers have the opportunity to write a piece for people they know well and who are part of their everyday lives. When such opportunities arise, the collaboration is often special and serendipitous. Such was the case when the sisters of the Zeta Tau chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota and the brothers of the Mu Eta chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at the University of Central Florida asked me to write a new work for their American Composers concert in the spring of 2003. These were my students, and soon to be collaborators and performers. What a privilege and pleasure. Their initial idea was to commission a piece to honor all those involved in and affected by the circumstances revolving around September 11th, all of us in one way or another. They wanted a song of mending, of rising from the ashes. This little poem from Mike Harding's A Little Book of Stained Glass seemed to me to reflect their sentiments. Indirectly, yet in a powerful way, these few words speak of forging something new and beautiful and radiant out of bits of lead, molten sand and ash. Out of the fire, the tribulation, shines the brittle, fragile cloth of glory. There is an emotional progression from the somewhat austere beginning, through a sense of hopefulness and expectancy, and finally warmth and assurance as the glass “takes hold of the light.” Program notes: http://www.harmonium.org/s/2015-dark-...
