Michael Larkin's gentle anthem of comfort is based on Isaiah 43:1 - 4. The luscious choral textures are supported by a decorative piano accompaniment, making this an accessible piece for choirs of all abilities. The text appears in Lutheran Service Book's Three-Year Lectionary, Series C, as the Old Testament Reading for the Baptism of Our Lord. The piece also makes a wonderful anthem for baptisms and confirmations.

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name, and you are Mine.
Do not be afraid, for you are Mine.

When you pass through deep waters the waves will not cover you.
When you pass through the fire the flames will not touch you.
The flames will not touch you.
Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name, and you are Mine.
For I am the Lord your God; you are precious in My sight.

I love you with a perfect love.
I love you with a perfect love, a perfect love.

Dan Forrest's new solo piano arrangement of Craig Courtney's Be Not Afraid, released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally published for SATB choir in 1992, the original text (below, based on Isaiah 43:1-4) speaks deeply still today. Dan's piano solo version preserves all the depth and comfort of the original, for a solo pianist.

Be not afraid: for I have redeemed you; Be not afraid: I have called you by name. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when you pass through the floods, they will not sweep o'er you; when you walk through the fire, you will not be consumed; you are mine, you are precious in my sight.

Good friends see the best in us. They tend to downplay our faults while applauding our strengths. In short, they encourage us to be the best we can be, maybe even a little more. The text of Paint Me was born out of the desire to be that person my best friend thinks I am. To Mary Jo, my sister and best friend. May I really be that person you see and love. In setting the text of Paint Me to music, I tried to let the cadence of the words dictate the rhythm of the music. Use rubato, word stress and syllabic stress to enhance this. Remember, no two eighth notes are alike, so dont be afraid to let the interior part of a phrase move along, while relaxing the beginning and ending. I would recommend a straight tone as opposed to vibrato for the held notes, since the accompaniment plays around with other harmonies while choral chords are being held. Diction is so important in this song. You have a great opportunity to paint the words, as well as making every idea understood. Enjoy adding the color and shading to make this piece of art your own.

I compose a piece of music each year to be premiered by our annual University of Mobile High School Honor Band. A New Horizon was composed for the 2021 Honor Band during the most challenging season in memory. Taking place during the pandemic, the Honor Band was held outdoors under a large, open tent with distancing and health protocols in place. Though not ideal and full of challenges, it was a successful, memorable and thankfully healthy event. I felt that it was important to have a joyful, upbeat, hopeful piece of music to introduce to these students and this was the result. The title itself is a reminder that hope remains and we should keep our eyes on the future: a new horizon. The tempo should remain bright and steady, articulations are critically important and need to be accurately crisp. Dynamics are intended to be dramatic, so do not be afraid to overdo - particularly dynamic swells and subito changes.

Exha usted, Ariadne fell asleep. She is dreaming, probably about the Labyrinth. Her sleep is agitated, her dream confused, incoherent. Ariadne is not safe. Even in sleep, she is afraid of something. I, too, am afraid with her.
