PADWORSKI (b. 1987)Vidi Aquam    Women's Choirabout the musicDomine, ad adjuvandum me festina  |  Giovanni Battista Martini(Lord, My God, Assist Me Now)Giovanni Battista Martini was an Italian composer, music theorist, and music historian who was internationally renowned as a teacher. Educated by his violinist father, he became an ordained priest in 1729. His school of music in Bologna attracted such pupils as J. C. Bach, Mozart, and Gluck. He was a prolific composer of both sacred and secular music, and his extensive library became the basis for the Civic Museum and Music Library in Bologna. Domine, ad adjunvandum me festina is an exciting setting of psalm text filled with driving rhythms, charming short solos, and a closing "Amen" fugue.Erev Shel Shoshanim  |  arr. Jack KlebanowThis piece is frequently referred to as an Israeli folksong. Although the words are largely taken from the biblical "Song of Songs," the original setting was created by Moshe Dor and Josef Hadar in 1956. The song has become so familiar in its many guises that in many cases the credits read only "Israeli Traditional Folksong." Lebenslust  |  Franz Schubert  This short song for four-part mixed chorus and piano composed in 1818 is representative of Schubert's lighter style of composition. Part songs of this type were composed for Viennese Liedertafeln (popular singing clubs); they were also performed in the home, as the vocal quartet was staple entertainment in the cultured, nineteenth century Austrian home.Chindia  |  Alexandru Pașcanu  Alexandru Pașcanu spent his life in Bucharest, Romania. He was a composer of choral, orchestral, and chamber music, and a member of the faculty of the Music Conservatory in Bucharest. He published several books and journal articles on Romanian folksongs, choral arranging, music theory, and composition. Chindia is perhaps his most popular composition. It is based on an instrumental Romanian folk dance by the same name. Chindia refers to the time of day just before the sun sets and to the place in the sky where the sun goes down. The dance is performed by both men and women in a closed circle and is quite vigorous. One can picture this festive dance being performed outside at the end of the day.Psalm 100  |  René Clausen  This piece is a popular work by contemporary choral composer René Clausen, and one of more than 70 choral works that range from expansive motets to simple part songs. The piece features mixed and complex meter – which often change every measure or two, to follow the tonic accent of the text.No Time  |  Susan BrumfieldThis arrangement combines two camp meeting songs; "Rise, Oh Fathers" and "No Time." When sung separately, each goes through the entire progression of "fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and sinners," before concluding. These songs were collected by Loman Cansler, who learned them from his grandfather, James Reuben Broyles, a Missouri minister. Ye Jaliya-o  |  Joan SzymkoThe phrase Ye Jaliya-o comes from the Mandinka language and is the refrain from Lambango, a centuries old dance song created by the Jalis of West Africa. A Jali is a member of a social caste of itinerant master musicians, poets, and storytellers.Joan Szymko is a composer and choral conductor who has led choruses in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. With over 35 octavos in print, her music is performed frequently by distinguished choral ensembles across the county and increasingly abroad. Vidi Aquam  |  Kevin T. PadworskiIn Eastertide, the Vidi Aquam chant replaces the Asperges Me ("Thou shalt sprinkle me, O Lord") during the traditional sprinkling rite at the start of the mass when the priest splashes the congregation with Holy water.text and translationsDomine, ad adjuvandum me festinaDomine, ad adjuvandumme festina.Gloria Patri,et Filio,et Spiritui Sancto;sicut erat in principio,et nunc, et semper,et in saecula saeculorum.Amen.Lord, my God, assist me now,make haste to help me.Glory be to the Father,and to the Son,and to the Holy Ghost;as it was in the beginning,is now, and ever shall be,world without end.Amen.Erev Shel ShoshanimErev shel shoshanimNitzeh na el habustanMor besamim ulevonaLeraglech miftan.Layla yored le'atVeru'ach shoshan noshvahHavah elchash lach shir balatZemer shel ahavaShachar homa yonahRoshech maleh t'lalimPich el haboker shoshanaEktefenu li.Evening of rosesLet's go out to the groveMyrrh, perfumes, and incenseare a threshold at your feet.The night falls slowlya breeze of roses blowsLet me whisper a song to you quietlya song of love.At dawn, a dove is cooingyour hair is filled with dewyour lips to the morning are like a roseI'll pick it for myself.LebenslustWer Lebenslust fühlet, der bleibt nicht allein,allein sein ist öde, wer kann sich da freu'n.Im traulichen Kreise, beim herzlichen Kußbeisammen zu leben, ist Seelengenuß!Das lehrt uns der Tauber, für Liebe und Lusterhebt sich dem Täubchen die seidene Brust,es gurret der Tauber, er lehret im Kußbeisammen zu leben, sei Herzensgenuß!For life to be happy, you can't be alone,If you should be lonely, the fault is your own.For life to be happy, you can't be alone,If you should be lonely, the fault is your own.If you will but trust in the love of a friend,In joy you will find that your sadness will end.Ye Jaliya-oYe Jaliya-o, Alla le ka jaliya da Oh music, God created musicVidi AquamVidi aquam egredientem de templo,a latere dextro, alleluia:et omes, ad quos pervenit aqua istasalvi facti sunt, et dicent: alleluia!I saw water flowing from the temple,on the right side, alleluia:And all to whom that water camehave been saved, and they will say: alleluia!personnelKENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY CHORALESOPRANOAbigail SnyderAnneka ZeeChristina VeharElena PrestwoodElizabeth ShaverHannah SmithJasmine HowellKaren CouvillonKathleen SmithKayla MarksLindsay Peterson Lizzy GodwinLuana Scienza Niccole WinneyRachel SteinSarah ShiverShay WilliamsSimone BoschTyler StoreyALTOAi NguyenAlejandra HillierAllison ChipmanAudine CrossBeth Anne AkeChanel LindstromDaneel BennettDeanna JohnsonGraciela VeraHuijeong LeeALTO (cont.)Kayla TibbsKelsey WoodsKristin HoustonLauren FaulknerMarielle ReedPayten MugliaSierra MansonTENORAldo CardenasBen AparicioChase LawConnor FintonDale GillmanDennis KorwekMason UpshawSimon NeedleWill CatheyBASSAngel GutierrezDean EmertGriffin HargroveIan ProstJason MillerJonathan FloresKennan MitchellMichael RisacherPhillip StaplesRoger Ibrahim Steven CrowKENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S CHOIRSOPRANO 1Simone BoschEmma BryantKaty MagginnisHeather ParmerLindsey SandersElizabeth ShaverShay WilliamsSOPRANO 2Bethany BurgessLindee CrawfordNikki D’HeureuxCayla FranzmanLizzy GodwinBrittany GriffithCamille HathawayLexie HoughKayla MarksMimi PhillipsAyana ThomasChristina VeharNatalie WilliamsonALTO 1Alexa CortezMandy HardinSierra MansonEricka PalmerMarissa ScottHeather TowheyAshley TracyBrielle UnderwoodFaith WilliamsALTO 2Savannah ChapmanLeAnna ChristensenAshley DoyalRose FishmanLauren FocknerAshley HamiltonDenise HernandezDeAnna JohnsonVictoria LescotaDeborah MatthewAi NguyenSarah StevensKatherine ThomasAssociate Professor of Choral Music Education, KSUAlison Mann is Associate Pro-fessor of Choral Music Educa-tion and Program Coordina-tor for Music Education at Kennesaw State University, where she teaches coursework in Choral Methods, Foun-dations of Music Education and Vocal Pedagogy for Ensemble Singing.
