Be Still and Know That I Am God

Waaaay back in 1993 when I wrote this, it was written for a men’s chorus (TTBB) and performed at USF, Dr. John Richmond conducting (the piece is dedicated to John who was a supporter of mine in a department in which I had few supporters…I am forever grateful to him and a those few other friends).

Unfortunately, that concert was not recorded so I don’t have a record of it. I can’t find the original TTBB score either. But, at some point before that score was lost, I made a SATB version of the piece. It works well as a solo madrigal type group, or a full chorus.

This is another of those cyber choral renditions. PLEASE remember that the reason I’m using these cyber choirs tracks is to have demos to go with the scores on sale at sheetmusicdirect, etc. They’re not intended to be “real” music recodings.

My only hope is that some choir director will elect to perform and record the piece(s) out of pity for the world so these cyborgs can disppear, replaced by real humnas making music.

PS: I do wish the soprano had less of a vibrato, and the tenor a bit more. The score has a keyboard, preferably for rehearsal only.
