Based on an Armenian troubadour song, I WILL NOT BE SAD IN THIS WORLD is a uniquely beautiful work for alto flute (or bass flute) accompanied by a pre-recorded audio track made purely from the composer’s own singing. The result is a fluid interplay between the live flute and the composer’s multi-tracked and processed vocal sonorities. The work was created for Marya Martin’s “Eight Visions†collection (published by Presser), and is now available as a single publication.I will not be sad in this world is based on the song “Ashkharumes Akh Chim Kashil†by the legendary 18th-century Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova. The song is often played on the duduk, and your flute playing should respond to the ornamentation, intonation, and vibrato of traditional duduk playing.In playing this piece, you will want to be flexible with time: the 32nd notes are mostly notated grace notes coloring the following note, and can be compressed towards that next note for effect. Similarly, the meter should be downplayed: use the pre-recorded part to give you guideposts, and then shape your phrases quite freely around those guideposts.I strongly suggest that you listen to my demo recording of the piece, as it will give an indication of what I am looking for. I have not transcribed every note that I sang on the demo, and similarly, once you feel comfortable with the playing style, you can ornament the melody with some flexibility yourself. The notated turns are meant to indicate places where it is most natural to do some ornamentation.The piece can be played on either alto flute or bass flute. I am hoping for a certain vulnerability in your playing, so choose the flute that will help you most with that. If you are playing in a dry hall, you might consider slight amplification, not for volume, but to allow you to add reverb to your sound. It will then be easier to blend well with the tape part.Optionally, one (or even two) additional flutists may double the lines called “voice†that are part of the tape part. The additional player(s) should play more softly than the soloist, and get even softer as the piece progresses and the electronics take over.* * *Thanks to Marya Martin who commissioned the piece. Many thanks to my friend and colleague Margaret Lancaster, who tried out the piece for me and advised me about notation. Thanks also to the Civitella Ranieri Foundation who were my generous hosts while I was writing I will not be sad in this world.The audio accompaniment and the demo are available for free download from the “Additional Downloads†tab at www.presser.com/114-42236 .

Yes, it’s liturgical. Songs like Come, Taste and See, “Hold Us, Jesus,†and “Go Out to the World†will have your cantors, choirs, and assemblies raising their voices. Is this collection good for listening? You bet! “In Your Presence†is inspirational, “Can You See God†is convincing. Some might say there’s a good deal of originality with a slight touch of cleverness in de Silva’s text writing. The verses for “Make a Joyful Noise,†for example, are taken from the Beatitudes, while the refrain draws its inspiration from Psalm 100—a skillful combination. The music is solid, yet fresh, with a contemporary sound. The melodies are memorable, you’ll come away humming the tunes. We’re certain this new release will cross generational lines as well. Both the young and the not-so-young love the fine work Chris is doing at his parish, St. Brendan’s, in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. We have a feeling your whole parish family will love Chris’s compositions as well. These new songs definitely deserve a listen, and for a very good reason. There’s a lot of “contemporary†music available these days that makes for great listening. But with de Silva there’s a difference—with de Silva, folks just can’t help but sing along. This is Chris’s first collection with GIA, and we warmly welcome him to the GIA family. Contents: Can You See God, We Are One, In Your Presence, Welcome, All Generations Will Praise Your Name, I Will Give Thanks, Among All, Hold Us, Jesus, Listen to My Cry, Come, Taste and See, Make a Joyful Noise, Go Out to the World, God of All.
