Uxor tua | Psalm 127 (128)
Though I composed this short 3-voice motet for the wedding of two of our dear friends, it nonetheless is dedicated especially to my wife, Megan, and for the special occasion of the birth of our second daughter, Lucy. Our many thanks to Christin, who photographed the birth (and some of which is featured here), and Eileen, our midwife from Immanuel Birth Co. in Topeka. Their information, plus the text of the Psalm and its translation are given below.

Uxor tua sicut viti abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.
Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israel.

Thy wife as a fruitful vine in the walls of thy house.
Thy children as olive p...

Building a Postwar(?) Lionel Layout | 5. Hillside Scenery and a not-so-Postwar upgrade
Просмотров 3192 месяца назад
Back to my original editing format - which I much prefer - albeit it taking forever to complete. Lots of fun stuff here, with two more videos in the editing queue already! Progress is taking off now and the layout's character is really starting to come alive - enjoy!

My apologies in advance for the bad audio...editing this was enough to convince me that if I do an update like this again in the future, I will be sure to buy a lapel mic first! And of course, the day that I *did* record all of this was gusty and breezy, and everyone seemed to think it was a good day to mow their yards. Nonetheless - - - some exciting new developments, including the No. 97 Coal...
Messiaen | Méditations sur le Mystère de la Sainte Trinité
Просмотров 2005 месяцев назад
Recorded live during my Senior Undergraduate Degree Recital on December 15, 2023 at Bales Recital Hall at the University of Kansas. This recording also includes the slideshow that accompanied the performance, which functions as “program notes” and is a walkthrough intended to help listeners draw fully of the depth of this monumental work of Messiaen. My many thanks to my page turner, Ann Pham, ...
Duruflé | Choral varié sur le thème du Veni Creator (alternatim)
Просмотров 3515 месяцев назад
I must admit that I've always felt the Variations felt out of place with the rest of Durufle's "Prelude, Adagio, et Choral varie sur le theme du Veni Creator," but in the context of alternatim - of which we know that Duruflé used these variations so - they are perfect. My thanks to members of my dear Schola from St. Lawrence for singing the verses of the Veni Creator. Text and translations are ...
Dismissal: Ite missa est/Regina Caeli/Jesus Christ is Ris'n Today | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 1076 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas • And after an exhausting but exhilarating and spiritually fruitful evening, we arrive at the joyful end of the Mass. I have heard different interpretations on the meaning of "Ite missa est" from various people, including my own friends in the Classics department, but gener...
Communion Antiphon: Pascha nostrum | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 536 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas • Not much can be said of this Antiphon - it is among the most iconic chants in the repertory and speaks well to itself and its place in the Mass. • One point of symbolic trivia is that it shares the same mode as the Introit for the Requiem Mass: Mode VI, and is thus musica...
Offertory Motet: Alleluia: O filii et filiae (vs. 1-5) | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 786 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Center at the University of Kansas • The story of this little motet is fun: My wife, Megan, found a recording of this a while ago from an album titled "Polyphonies oubliées" by Ensemble Gilles Binchois, but given the premise of the album title, it was an anonymous source. I looked up sheet music for it with no success, and ...
Offertory Antiphon: Dextera Domini | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 406 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas • This is one of my favorite examples of why each piece of Chant should be sung differently. Too often I find that Gregorian chant is always sung the same way, every time, with every piece. How can one read these words and not desire to sing with more gumption and enthusias...
Sprinkling Rite: Vidi Aquam | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 906 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas • During the Sprinkling Rite at the Vigil after the renewal of Baptismal Promises, we sing this beautiful text. And, if the Priest opts to use the Sprinkling Rite at the Sunday Masses in Easter in place of the Penitential Rite, this is the same chant that is sung. Throughou...
Canticle: Attende Caelum | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 946 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas • Bearing the same melodic formula as the other Canticles, this one has been adorned with a drone when the verses start. The idea was this - as we work through the readings and approach closer and closer to the Gloria, it's as if little streaks of light begin to peek throug...
Canticle: Cantemus Domino | St. Lawrence Easter Vigil 2024
Просмотров 1946 месяцев назад
Recorded live at the Easter Vigil on March 30, 2024 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas. • A recording can only capture so much - one must use their imagination to fully realize the depth that this scratches the surface of. Picture this: a Chapel completely dark, with only one light cast on the Ambo and the flame burning from the Paschal Candle. And then, afte...
Guilain | Suite du Premier Ton | Organ + Chant Alternatim
Просмотров 4656 месяцев назад
Not very often do we get to hear these French Baroque works with the chant that accompanies them. Thus, it was such a joy to put this recording together with the women's chorus of the Schola at the St. Lawrence Center. Contextually, this piece would form a part of sung Vespers (Evening Prayer) - this being the Canticle of Mary, or the Magnificat. • Organ - Aidan Hill Choir - Megan Hill, Kate Bl...
An American in Lyon | The Cavaille-Coll Organ of Saint-François-de-Sales
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Long overdue, this video features a casual and non-comprehensive tour of the great and historic organ at Saint-Francois de Sales in Lyon...and my formerly long hair...and Megan's unmatched patience sitting and listening to my entire practice session (but also getting some great pics of it all). You can find out more information on the organ and the efforts to repair and restore the instrument h...
