brighter than the sun


a Cantata for Christmas

for soprano, tenor & bass soloists,


choir and instrumental ensemble

Composer's note
This cantata, which takes as its theme the Annunciation, contains arrangements of
four medieval carols for SATB choir with instrumental accompaniment (ad lib) and
for which I have provided singing translations with the intention of making these
beautiful pieces more accessible to contemporary choirs and audiences. The
remaining movements are original and contain a triptych of scenes from the medieval
Mystery Plays with the text freely adapted for musical purposes; the central scene
contains a setting of Mary's Magnificat (text from the Book of Common Prayer.) In
addition, there are two short instrumental sonatas and a setting for female voices of
the 13th century lyric known as a Hymn to the Virgin.
The work was created as a companion piece to the composer's English arrangement of
Schtz' Christmas Story for a concert given by the Newbury Chamber Choir in
December 2011. Although the cantata is designed to be performed as a whole, any
sections from the work may be performed in any order.

1. Carol (Gabriel, from heaven's king)


2. Sonata (The Darkness)
3. Scene: Mary and Gabriel (The Annunciation)
4. Carol (There is no rose of such virtue)
5. Scene: Mary (The Visitation)
6. Carol: (A new creation)
7. Scene: Joseph, Mary, Gabriel (The Confrontation)
8. Sonata (The Adoration)
9. Hymn: (Of one that is so fair and bright)
10. Carol: (Nowell)

Voices
Mary - soprano
The Angel Gabriel - tenor
Joseph - bass
Elizabeth - speaking role
Choir - SATB

piano, and Of One That Is So Fair And Bright is available for sopranos & altos with
harp accompaniment and for full choir SATB with keyboard or harp.

Duration: about 33 minutes

SCENE TWO: (The Visitation)


ELIZABETH
Welcome! mild Mary,
Come in! Come near!

ELIZABETH
Comfort, my dear, thou shouldst have mirth.

MARY
God bless Elizabeth,
My own cousin dear!

For when the child in my womb


heard the sound of your voice
it leaped and it cried
In my Lord I rejoice.

ELIZABETH
I am so joyful
To see thee now here.
(seeing Marys bump)
You bring joyful tidings that I can see.
The mother of Kings
is come unto me.
MARY (weeping)
Who am I to be blessed with this birth?

(kneeling)
Grace-full be thou,
heavenly bride,
and the fruit of thy body
be blessed far and wide.
(Mary sings the Magnificat)
