Contents: As cheers the sun * And shall my sin-stain'd soul * Author of Peace * Ah! Think what ills * Alas! Erastea * Banish love from thy breast * Beneath the Vine * Bless'd the day * Capricious man * Daughter of Gods * Endless pleasure, endless love * Faithful cares in vain extended * Guardian Angels * Hide me from day's garish eye * My heart with tender pity swells * Me, when the sun begins to shine * No more shall armed bands * No, no, I'll take no less * Oft on a plat of rising ground * O killing shock of unexpected pain * O lovely youth * Sinners, lifts your eyes and tremble * Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures * Together lovely innocents.

Telemann's setting of Psalm 121 I lift up mine eyes to the hills reveals him to be an admirer of French music. Constructed on the example of a grand motet, each of the movements is patterned after the French model: the model of an overture for the first movement, the echoes of a chaconne in the second, the dotted gigue rhythms of the Canarie in the third. In addition there is the lively exchange between choir and solo ensemble, and much more. The music is full of poetic imagery, whenever the occasion arises, as at the very beginning with the words Ich hebe meine Augen auf, or in a later passage with the text Siehe, der Hüter Israel schläft noch schlummert nicht (Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep). Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3912700.

These two anthems are examples of Lauridsen's style in embryo, as it were, for both were written while the composer was just twenty-seven years old. Both anthems evince the contrapuntal mastery that would prove an enduring featureof the composer's technique. The pure and austere lines of I will lift up mine eyes, an a cappella setting of Psalm 121, evoke ancient organum and the imitative devices of Medieval polyphony. Complex chord structures and elaboratecanonic procedures give O come, let us sing unto the Lord a sense of inexorable forward momentum. The coruscating organ part further enhances the prevailing mood of joy that pervades this anthem. --Byron Adams.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. --Psalm 121, King James Version Psalm 121, from the canonical Book of Psalms, is one of fifteen psalms (meaning sacred song or hymn) included in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134). These powerful texts about hope and perseverance were likely chanted by Jewish pilgrims as they traversed the ascending road into Jerusalem, which sits atop a hill known as Mount Zion. Thousands of years later, the words of Psalm 121 continue to uplift and inspire those afflicted with pain, grief, or suffering; one need only look to the hills.  .

A fresh, expressive take on this favorite text. Hailey's lyrical setting is conservative, but is anything but predictable as it builds victoriously from the opening moments to the climax. This is one you are sure to program over and over again!
