0 for a thousand tongues to sing Ny great Redeemer's praise, The glories of my God and King, The triwnphs of His grace J

Jesus! The name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease: 1Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, Hts blood availed for me.

I1r. Titus has been the recipient of numerous

~wards in composition and piano. Most recently

he has received the Interlachen Press scholar-

. ship for outstanding work in composition, the

composition being the Concerto No. 1 which he

is performing in part for the St. Paul Bible

College. As a small boy, he showed much

interest in picking out tunes at the keyboard

which to this date has developed into his

present composing ability. vJe of the St. Paul

Bible College consider it a privilege to have

him perform for us and to share his talent

w:i. th us.

ST. PAUL BIBLE COLLEGE C HRIS T I AN A N D MISSI ON ARY A LLI ANC E

June, 1964

Dear Music Graduates:

We in the Busic De;:>artment at SPBC are now basking in the relative calm following the storm of those frantic final weeks of the school year. I say "relat ive calm", because our music area here at "136111 is by no means dormant. There is the usual cleaning up of equipment and records following a busy year -- those 1001 things which are shoved aside for "some more convenient day." And those concentrated weeks of Summer School are now upon us. As a matter of fact, there has scarcely been so much as a 2h-measure rest between the final strains of the recessional at Conmence­ment and the opening bars of the Summer Session movement. Fortunately , however, it's a much slower temoo -- sort of a largo, as cor;1pared "tdth the previous allegro furiosoi

It has been an eventful year in the music department. A fevl highlights come to mind:

The dedication of two new (well, different, anyr..Jay) organs: the Baldwin which was given to the s"cli''ol last fall and now resides in the lounge, serving· as a practice instrument, and the Allen, our much appreciated chapel instrument of vlhich we told you in our recent letter. (1~e want to thank you who have made contributions toward the purchase of this much needed instrument and to remind all of you that there are two payments due: the current June installment of ,:· 2000 and another of the same amount in the fall. Your contribution, however small, is much aDpreciated.) The old Baldwin -- veteran of so many battles has not been actually retired. It is servinf' vJell in the rehearsal room.

The addition of much needed recording equipment. Our engineer's room is now equipped 1d t h so r.1e of the finest A_mpex professional instruments. These ~vere secured primarily for the radio ministry of the college, but is readily avail­able for the use of our department. And a net.v stereo console graces t he office of the department chairman, the gift of a friend.

A ve~r interesting one-morning sem~inar with an extremely talented youthful composer, Hiram Titus, who with the assistance of our own Hr. Allen presented a recital of some of his own works, together ·q·i th a discussion of composinp, methods. Yfr. Titus has won a number of nati onal honors and will doubtless be heard fro m in the field of conte ·\porary composition.

Our recitals of the year, marked bv a proficiency and finesse that sho"tved good preparation from t he standpoint of artistry as vJell as technique.

Our concert tours by the Choral Club and Girls Choir -- longer than usual and extremely pr oductive, musically and spiritually.

The preparati on of a new recording: a high fidelity, 12 inch, LP album by the Choral Glub entitled, "I vJill Sing." It i ncludes most of the numbers used on t his year's concert program and ir/as released during Commencement \r·Teek. It sells for ~" J. 98 and is available t hroufh the Bookstore. Its jacket is most attractively desif·ned and it would make a fine gift item.

The presentation of Haydn's 11 Creati on11 oratorio by the combined Choral Club, Girls Choir and the First Covenant Church Choir of 1'1inneapolis. This was a most thrilling exnerience for all of us. The 130-voice choir was assisted by three fine soloists: ttrs. Ruth Bowers Gallanis of Chicago, Phaeon Nels ~n of Ninneapolis, and our o>m Joseph Tewinkel.

Our year's end activities included a gaJa I:fusic Banquet, at which our Choral Club, Girls Choir and Band letters were presented, follmved by a delightful Band Concert. The special pins for the two choral groups were handed out at the annual Husic Theory Chapel. These included a number of ruby-studded pins for 3 and 4 years' service ancl t1.-10 diamond pins for 5 years of membership. These latter rare awards were given to Rhoda Nelson of the Girls Choir and Sylvia Hentworth of the Choral Club. The musical climax of the season was the annual Commencement Musicale, given on Memorial Day . It was well-attended and thoroughly successf ul.

T1.-10 fine enser11bles are now in the field, on month-long tours. Perhaps you will have the opportunity of hearing them in person. One group is traveling through t1Tisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Hichigan while the other group is touring Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, i'tissouri, Iowa and Nebraska.

Now what about you? iJJhat have you been doing? tfe t hink about you and wonder hol.r the I.ord ha s been using you in His service. Keep in touch, won't you? He want you to feel part of the family. Don't forget to send us any chan&e of address.

PROGRAM

WELCOME AND INVOCATION: THE REVEREND PAUL P. FRYHLING

Senior Minister, First Covenant Church

PART THE FIRST

INTRODUCTION: Representation of Chaos

RECITATIVE. Raphael: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth; and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

CHORUS: And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

RECITATIVE. Uriel: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

AIR: Now vanish before the holy beams/The gloomy shades of ancient night;/The first of days appears./Now chaos ends, and order fair prevails./ Affrighted fly hell's spirits black in throngs:/Down they sink in the deep abyss/To endless night.

CHORUS: Despairing, cursing rage attends their rapid fall./ A new-created world springs up at God's command.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

Now furious storms tempestuous rage,/Like chaff, by the winds impelled are the clouds,/By sudden fire the sky is inflamed,/ And awful thunders are rolling on high./Now from the floods in steam ascend reviving showers of rain,/The dreary, wasteful hail, the light and flaky snow.

SOLO. Gabriel: The marv'lous work behold amaz'd/ The glorious hierarchy of heav­ven;/ And to th' ethereal vaults resound/The praise of God, and of the second day.

CHORUS: And to th' ethereal vaults resound/ The praise of God, and of the second day.

RECITATIVE: Raphael: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters called He Seas: and God saw that it was good.

AIR: Rolling in foaming billows,/Uplifted, roars the boisterous sea/Mountains and rocks now emerge,/Their tops among the clouds ascend./Through th' open plains, outstretching wide,/ln serpent error rivers flow./Softly purling, glides on/Through silent vales the limpid brook.

RECITATIVE. Gabriel: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yield­ing seed, and the fruit-tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

AIR: With verdure clad the fields appear,/Delightful to the ravish'd sense;/By flowers sweet and gay / Enhanced is the charming sight./Here fragrant herbs their odours shed;/Here shoots the healing plant./With copious fruit th' expanded boughs are hung;/In leafy arches twine the shady groves;/O'er lofty hills majestic forests wave.

RECITATIVE. Uriel: And the heavenly host proclaimed the third day, praising God, and saying:

CHORUS: Awake the harp, the lyre awake,/ And let your joyful song resound./Re­joice in the Lord, the mighty God;/For He both heaven and earth/Has clothed in stately dress.

RECITATIVE. Ut·iel: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day from the night, and to give light upon the earth; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years. He made the stars also.

RECITATIVE. Uriel: In splendour bright is rising now the sun,/ And darts his rays; a joyful, happy spouse,/ A giant proud and glad/To run his measur'd course./With softer beams, and milder light,/Steps on the silver moon through silent night;/The space immense of th' azure sky/ A countless host of radiant orbs adorns./ And the sons of God announced the fourth day/ In song divine, proclaiming thus His power:

CHORUS: The heavens are telling the glory of God,/The wonder of His work dis­plays the firmament;

TRIO. Gabriel, Un"el, Raphael: To day that is coming speaks it the day,/The night that is gone to following night./In all the lands resounds the word,/Never unper­ceived, ever understood.

OFFERTORY: Beautiful Savior . Christiansen

PART THE SECOND

RECITATIVE. Gabriel: And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

AIR: On mighty pens uplifted soars/The eagle aloft, and cleaves the air/In swiftest flight, to the blazing sun./His welcome bids to morn the merry lark,/ And cooing calls the tender dove his mate./From ev'ry bush and grove resound/ The nightin­gale's delightful notes;/No grief affected yet her breast,/Nor to a mournful tale were tun'd/ Her soft, enchanting lays.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth; and God blessed them, saying.

Be fruitful all, and multiply,/ Ye winged tribes, be multiplied,/ And sing on every tree;/Multiply ye finny tribes,/ And fill each wat'ry deep;/Be fruitful, grow, and multiply,/ And in your God and Lord rejoice.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: And the angels struck their immortal harps, and the wonders of the fifth day sung.

TERZETTO. Gabriel: Most beautiful appear, with verdure young adorn'd,/The gently sloping hills; their narrow, sinuous veins/Distil, in crystal drops, the fountain fresh and bright.

Uriel: In lofty circles play, and hover, in the air,/The cheerful host of birds; and as they flying whirl,/Their glitt'ring plumes are dy'd as rainbows by the sun.

Raphael: See flashing through the deep in thronging swarms/The fish a thou: sand ways around./Upheaved from the deep, th' immense Leviathan/Sports on the foaming wave.

Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael: How many are Thy works, 0 God!/Who may their n urn her tell?

Page 32: ST. PAUL BIBLE COLlEGE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Diful.E … · IV. Vivace Johann Sebastian Bach Johann Sebastian Baoh ... Hiram Titus ... 11inneapolis Composer ... Pim ist I1r. Titus has

TRIO AND CHORUS: The Lord is great, and great His might,/His glory lasts for ever and for evermore.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after his kind.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: Straight opening her fertile womb,/The earth obey'd the word,/ And teem'd creatures numberless,/In perfect forms, and fully grown./ Cheerful, roaring, stands the tawny lion. With sudden leap/ The flexible tiger ap­pears. The nimble stag/ Bears up his branching head. With flying mane,/ And fiery look, impatient neighs the noble steed./ The cattle, in herds, already seek their food/On fields and meadows green./ And o'er the ground, as plants, are spread/ The fleecy, meek, and bleating flocks./Unnumber'd as the -sands, in swarms arose/ The host of insects. In long dimension/ Creeps, with sinuous trace, the worm.

AIR: Now heaven in fullest glory shone;/Earth smil'd in all her rich attire;/ The room of air with fowl is filled;/The water swell'd by shoals of fish;/By heavy beasts the ground is trod: / But all the work was not complete;/There wanted yet that won­drous being,/That, grateful, should God's power admire,/With heart and voice His goodness praise.

RECITATIVE: Uriel: And God created Man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. He breathed into his no-strils the breath of life, and Man became a living soul.

AIR: In native worth and honour clad,/With beauty, courage, strength, adorn'd,/ Erect, with front serene, he stands/ A man, the lord and king of nature alL/ His large and arched brow sublime/ Of wisdom deep declares the seat;/ And in his eyes with brightness shines/ The soul, the breath and image of his God./With fondness leans upon his breast/ The partner for him form' d,/ A woman, fair and graceful spouse./Her softly smiling, virgin looks,/Of flow'ry spring the mirror,/ Bespeak him love, and joy, and bliss.

RECITATIVE. Raphael: And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the heavenly choir, in song divine, thus closed the sixth day:

CHORUS: Achieved is the glorious work;/The Lord beholds it, and is (well) pleas'd./ In lofty strains let us rejoice,/Our song let be the praise of God.

TRIO. Gabriel and Uriel: On Thee each living soul awaits;/ From Thee, 0 Lord, all seek their food ;/Thou openest Thy hand,/ And fillest all with good:

Raphael: But when Thy face, 0 Lord, is hid,/With sudden terror they are struck;/Thou tak'st their breath away,/They vanish into dust:

Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael: Thou sendest forth Thy breath again,/ And life with vigour fresh returns ;/Revived earth unfolds new strength/ And new delights.

CHORUS: Achieved is the glorious work;/Our song let be the praise of God./Glory

to His name for ever./He sole on high exalted reigns. Hallelujah.

CHILDREN'S CORNER SUITE

The first of six exquisite pieces that form this en­chanting Suite was composed in 1906, the last in 190 8 . The work as a whole is dedicated to Debus­sy' s five-year-old daughter Claude-Emma with this inscription 1 "To my dear little Chou-Chou with her father's apologies for what is to follow." Claude­Emma, who seems to have been mu sically talented, lived to be only fourteen years old.~ dying a little after her father.

• The moveme nts of the Suite are as follows :

l. Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum. Debussy him­self amusingly described this music, which paro­dies solemn musical exercises, as"a kind of pro­gressive$ hygienic 1 gymnastic exercise, to be played every morning 1 fasting; beginning moderato and working up gradually to an animat;l)." One is to imagine a child struggling at the piano with some dreary exercises by Clementi. The music suggests the pouting at the difficulties, the pleasure at the distractions that present themselves.

2. Jimbo's Lullaby. Jimbo- and some believe

•bussy meant Jumbo- was a toy elephant who had . be sung to sleep by Chou-Chou.

3. Serenade for the Doll. This, writes Oscar Thompson, "is a child's caprice, not a toy carica­ture."

4. The Snow Is Dancing. This delicate, fan­ciful music depicts swirling flakes.

Page 45: ST. PAUL BIBLE COLlEGE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Diful.E … · IV. Vivace Johann Sebastian Bach Johann Sebastian Baoh ... Hiram Titus ... 11inneapolis Composer ... Pim ist I1r. Titus has

5. The Little Sheperd. Thompson describes this section as "a toy vignette, with a touch of the sylvan to companion the Noah's Ark figures - shep:­herd and sheep. 11

6. Golliwog's Cakewalk. This lurching 1 en­tertaining music- 11 rhythm on a rampage, .. Thompson calls it - is the most familiar section of the Suite. ---'""' The melody is something Debussy is supposed to have heard played by the Grenadier Guards in Lon • . In the middle of the piece there is a satiric sugge tion of the Prelude to Tristan.
