Composed by Connie Pwll Walck Tyler. Christian,Contemporary,Jewish,Sacred. Octavo. 48 pages. Connie Tyler #4765403. Published by Connie Tyler (A0.1008087).What is Wisdom?
In Proverbs 8:5-11 she says,
"Learn prudence, acquire intelligence, …
take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
for Wisdom is better than jewels."
This suite of three songs is appropriate for use in a Christian or Jewish religious service or a secular concert. It includes a short audience participation possibility at the end of the last song. All are written for flute, piano, ethnic drum, SATB plus a high soprano part that can be a soloist. The drum part is written out, but could be improvised.
The first song, Hear My Call, is short (1:49) and could be used as a call to worship in a religious service.
The second song, God Created Me, (4:36) is an anthem of praise using the wonderful words of the creation of Wisdom in Proverbs 8:22-36 with a descant of the creation story in the book of Ben Sira 24:3, found in the Apocrypha. The tenors and basses sing the comparison of Wisdom with the trees of Israel, also found in Ben Sira, all in praise of Wisdom.
The third song, Choose Life, (1:16) includes a chant that can be sung by the congregation or audience along with the choir. This could be used as the final hymn in a religious service.
All three songs can be used separately or together. At the end of the score you will find a copy of the congregational chant which can be copied and placed in an Order of Service or Program.
Purchase includes the right to make eight photocopies. For additional copies please purchase another score from sheetmusicplus.com.
The recording is electronically produced and therefore has "choral oohs" without words. All three songs are on the recording, and at the end there is a flute rendering of the chant.. This is not intended to stand alone, but to be sung, as directed, with the last part of the choir song, Choose Life.
