And as I wake, sweet music breathe
Above, about or underneath,
Sent by some spirit to mortals good,
Or th’unseen genius of the wood.
John Milton (1645)

The words of the Kontakion were written during the 9th century to bring comfort to those attending a burial service. It is sung faithfully at Anglican funerals services and has become an appropriate text for people everywhere on Remembrance day. Stephanie uses a modern translation and applies a beautiful lush choral setting to the ancient text.

Many composers have set Psalm 102 to music. Few versions are as effective as this one.  Intuitive voice leading, varied dynamics and appropriately crunchy dissonances will make this a good experience for the choir and meaningful to the listener.

Stephanie ventures into new creative territory with this composition. In this poem, a passerby on a winter evening notices the statue of a robin and wonders why it is there, who made the carving, and why children are fascinated by it. Surprisingly, the stone bird answers, but only in riddles. It becomes apparent that it is not the spirit of the living bird, not of a human artisan, but of the great Creator who can give life to stone.

From the pen of Robert Burn over 200 years ago, the words still capture hearts and minds. Stephanie’s harmonies carry the text like a perfect marriage.
O my Luve is like a red, red rose 
   That’s newly sprung in June; 
O my Luve is like the melody 
   That’s sweetly played in tune.
