Hatfield uses the old Italian technique of matching the vowels of her name to the corresponding sol-fa syllables to create an ostinato that metaphorically translates her into music. The piece combines poignancy with lots of sparkle, lots of interlocking ostinati. The mix of tenderness and energy has effected audiences strongly. On the line between medium and advanced.

Composer: Stephen Hatfield

Grace was commissioned by the Sloan Creek Middle School a cappella treble choir for their performance at the 2013 national ACDA convention in Dallas. Despite references to brief, bright moments fading fast, sorrowing hours and all we mourn, all we keep, the poetic and musical mood is not dark, but warm and hopeful. With the sensitive piano stylings that we have come to expect from David Brunner, this is a wonderful opportunity for young women to dig deep into their emotions.

The words for this are an ancient prayer from the Southwestern United States. They speak of the earth as a sacred and holy place that is worthy of our love and respect. The prayer challenges us, as temporary residents of the land, to be diligent stewards on behalf of our children. And as we have come to expect, Mark's choral writing is intricate and rewarding.
