Veni Veni Emmanuel (A Christmas Prayer from the Trenches) tropes the old advent Latin hymn text, its English translation by John Neale, and a WWI poem by Lt. Cyril Winterbotham in this motet-like setting by Cary Boyce for triple chorus (SSAA, SSAA, TTBB) and tenor solo. This performance is by the Indiana University Singers in 2008 with tenor Mark van Arsdale, conducted by William Jon Gray. The video “recreates” a performance visually troped with actual images from various wars and works of art that illustrate, illuminate, or comment on the text.

My news team forced me. They have a strange sense of humor.
And this is probably not my best profile. At this point, I uttered several words forbidden by the FCC, but fortunately I was not on the air. Broadcast air, anyway…

Don came to Spokane and gave a righteous presentation at the beautiful Bing Crosby Theater. (Bing used to play drums in the pit.)
