Opis

for SATB and piano This anthem is a setting of the text from John 14, Christ's words to his apostles after the resurrection. It begins with a flowing accompaniment and solo vocal lines that build to the tutti declamation of 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you'. It is appropriate for the Easter and Pentecost and is accessible for all church choirs.

Recenzje

The piece hovers somewhat ambiguously between D major and B minor - not a bad musical metaphor for the ambivalence of the occasion, suspended between Eucharistic joy and Passion sorrow.

During his formal music training, he developed his main musical interests of music theory and composition while studying with William Baxter and Hugh Thomas. From 1966 to 1972, he was the organist and choir director at the Cathedral of St. Paul, Minnesota. From 1973 to 1994, Dicie taught reading and vocal music in Nashville public schools and, from 1976 to 1994, was organist and choir director at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Franklin, Tennessee. He then served as organist and Church Music Director at Trinity United Methodist Church, Franklin, Tennessee. In January 2005, Dicie returned to St. Paul's Episcopal Church where he is currently the organist and composer in residence.
