SKU: A0.945510

Composed by Michael J. Van Slyke. A Cappella,Easter,Sacred. 12 pages. Van Slyke Audio #5888229. Published by Van Slyke Audio (A0.945510).

The piece: Chorale: Messianicum, Prophetia, was not originally composed as a sacred work. Rather, it was an exercise; written to practice aural and written theory while I was a student at the University of Wyoming.  So, its roots were those of a Vocalise. Be that as it may, the harmonies are reminiscent of the music for Mass in the old Catholic cathedrals and churches.  Therefore I added a text taken from Isaiah 53: 3-5 from the the Vulgate to complement the music.

There are moments where the music appears to be at odds with natural inflection of the Latin language and this is not an error.  Though there is a time signature indicating a meter, this is to facilitate greater ease in conducting and reading the music.  It is very much in free time and thus I invite the conductors and choirs performing this work to please refrain from following the metronome mark as if it were God reincarnate.

Finally, a thank you to all musicians who suffer for my madness, the conductors and directors for taking a chance, my fellow composers for the inspiration they give, and my friends and family for the loving support they give to one, who for better of for worse, "works hard at nothing all day."
