LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAHZ. Randall Stroope


Misa A Buenos Aires (Misatango) wascomposed between September of 1995and April of 1996. The premiere per-formance was given by the OrquestaSinfonica nacional de Cuba, the Choirof the Faculty of Law of the Universityof Buenos Aires and the PolyphonicTown Choir of Vicente López (choirs towhom the work is dedicated).Misatango was first recorded inLiepaja, Latvia by the LiepajaSymphony Chorus led by FernandoAlvarez with bandoneon player PabloMainetti, Martín Palmeri on piano, andmezzo-soprano soloist AlejandraMalvino. In December of 2000, at therequest of Maestro Mario Benzecry, anew symphonic arrangement was pre-miered by the Coros Facultad deDerecho of the Universidad de BuenosAires. This concert was broadcastedthroughout the country by Channel 7via UBA TV.

Misatango has been performed inArgentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador,Chile, the United States, Israel and inmany European countries under thedirection of prestigious conductorssuch as Fernando Alvarez, MarioBenzecry, Nestor Andrenacci, NestorZadoff, Joseph Prats, Ligia Amadio,Eberhard Metternich, MichelPiquernal, Thomas Kammel, RobertoLuvini, Alejandro Rutty, and many oth-ers. Misatango has also been pro-grammed on various festivals: the 2013Festival Internazionale de Musica eArte Sacre in Rome (by Coro de laCatedral de Koln) and the 2014Festival C’est pas Classique in Nice,France (by Choeur PACA).

From two important musical experi-ences in my personal musical history—arranging tango music and directing

choirs—the idea emerged to write awork that somehow integrates thesetwo experiences that developed inde-pendently. It was always my intentionto arrange tango for choral groups,attempting to maintain the “essence”of the genre. The existing choral reper-tory lacked neither “a cappella” noraccompanied tango arrangements, butwhile previous arrangements weresometimes acceptable, they have notbeen satisfactory. Though the technicaland expressive possibilities of choralvoices is great, for some reason it is dif-ficult to achieve the precision that thetango genre requires. Taking this intoaccount, my objective in this composi-tion was to maintain the harmonic lan-guage, rhythms, melodic designs, andall of the characteristics of tango withinthe orchestral score, thus allowing thechorus to have full liberty to just “singthe mass.” My decision to use the Latintext could be explained by the place ofthe Latin language among centuries ofchoral music and the universal connec-tion to the language. But I have to saythat my decision also carries the weightof my aesthetic requirement: Latingives the work a reserved, esotericquality which, from my point of view,has much to do with tango—especiallyprogressive tango.

Thank you to all of the singers whoparticipated in this incredible concert—thanks for your energy, passion andenthusiasm you demonstrate in themoment. Thank you to the directors ofeach chorus, who in some cases havebeen dear friends to me along my musi-cal journey throughout the years.Thanks to DCINY for having chosenMisa A Buenos Aires for the 2016 con-cert series and for promoting this con-cert to such heights.

Twilight On The BeachANDREW HIRST

The crimson glory of the setting sun hath lain a momenton the ocean’s breast,Till twilight shadows gathering one by one, bring us thetidings, day is gone to rest.

Far out upon the waters, like a veil, the mists of evening rise and stretch away.

For the Beauty of the EarthPHILIP STOPFORD

For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies,For the love which from our birth over and around us lies:For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night,Hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light:Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise.

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child,Friends on earth and friends above; pleasure pure and undefiled:For each perfect gift of Thine, to our race so freely given;Graces human and divine, flowers of earth and buds of heaven:Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise.

For thy Church which evermore fiftieth holy hands above,Off’ring up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love:Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise.

Texts and TranslationsAt the Round Earth’s Imagined CornersWILLIAMETTA SPENCER

At the round earth’s imagin’d corners, blowYour trumpets, angels, and arise, ariseFrom death, you numberless infinitiesOf souls, and to your scatter’d bodies goe;All whom the flood did, and fire shall o’erthrow,All whom warre, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,Despaire, law, chance hath slaine, and you whose eyesShall behold God and never taste death’s woe.But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space.For, if above all these; my sins abound,‘Tis late to ask abundance of thy graceWhen we are there; here on this lowly ground,Teach me how to repent; for that’s as good,As if thou’hadst seal’d my pardon with thy blood.

Lamentations of JeremiahZ. RANDALL STROOPE

O vos Omnesqui transitis per viam,attendite et videtesi est dolor,sicut dolor meus.

Recodare Domineintuere et respiceopprobrium nostrum.

O you peoplewho pass this way,look and seeif there exists any sorrow (agony),like unto my sorrow.

Remember, Lordconsider and noticeour humiliation and disgrace!

Between the horizon and the distant sail, and earth andsea are clothed in somber gray.

The tide comes higher up the smooth, wide beach, singingthe song it has for ages sung; Recedes, and carries far beyond our reach, the freightmy idle hands have seaward flung.

Over the white-capped waves the seagulls soar withheavy flapping wing and restless cry,as darkness spreads its deeper mantle o’er the changingshadow of the twilight sky.

No voice but mine to mingle with the sound of ocean’s melody, as one by oneThe stars light up and the vast concave around, and live theglory that is never done.

Still higher creeps the tide with subtle pow’r, and stillthe waves advance with sullen roar;But with the last faint gleam of twilight hour, I turn mehomeward from the lonely shore.


JennyNICK MYERS

Crimson and coral, sunset falls on Willow Park.On this noble tree, where you’d climb, I see ‘Jenny’ carved into the bark.Sable and sapphire dim the final light of day.Laughter seems to float on the breeze through the willow trees where you used to play.

In the darkness, in the starlight, I hear angels sing your nameAs they bear you through the heavens to the Light from which you came.Quietly the strain falls out of tune.Shadows steal across a lonely moon.I miss you so.

Smoky and silver, dawn will soon dissolve the dark.Still, one shadow stays in the veil of the trees in Willow Park.As the sunrise drowns the darkness, all the angels sing your name,And you’re flying through the heavens to the Light from which you came.

Whispers of their song that echo yet make me glad to knowI won’t forget my Jenny dear. I love you so.

CaledoniaDOUGIE MACLEANarr. Richard Nicherson

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time.Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m going home.

I don’t know if you can see the changes that have come over me.I’ve been afraid that I might drift away.So I’ve been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where Icome from.That’s the reason why I feel so far away today.

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time. Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m going home.But if I should become a stranger, know that it will make me more than sad.Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.

Now I have moved and I kept on movin’, proved the points that I need proving, lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way.I’ve kissed my love and I left ‘em cryin’, stolen dreams,yes there’s no denyin’.I’ve traveled hard sometimes with conscience flyin’,somewhere with the wind.


Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time.Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m going home.But I should become a stranger, know that it will make me more than sad. Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time.Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m going home.But if I should become a stranger, know that it will make me more than sad.Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.

I’m going home!

A Shout of PraiseKEITH HAMPTON

Hallelujah is a shout of praise!When God is for us who can be against us?The shout of praise releases God’s favor on us.You have been faithful and of good cheer.God’s favor has been released to restore your years.Hallelujah is the highest praise!Give thanks unto the Lord for his love endures forever!
