These anthems were chosen in thanksgiving for the 250th anniversary of the founding of Salem and the 60th anniversary of the Moravian Music Foundation.

  • The Choral Anthems of Alice Mary Smith
    THE CHORAL ANTHEMS OF ALICE MARY SMITH: PERFORMANCE EDITIONS OF THREE ANTHEMS BY A WOMAN COMPOSER IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF ARTS BY CHRISTOPHER E. ELLIS DR. ANDREW CROW - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY, 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my lovely wife, Mandy, for her constant support during the entire doctoral program. Without her, I would have struggled to maintain my motivation to continue pursuing this degree. My two children, Camden and Anya, have also inspired me to press forward. The joy I see in their faces reminds me of the joy that I find in conducting choral music. I am truly grateful for my wonderful family. I would also like to thank all of the committee members. They each gave generously of their time to meet and guide me through the doctoral process. I would especially like to thank Dr. Crow, who kindly guided me through the steps of the dissertation process, providing insight, direction, and caution, all while pushing me to improve the final product. His advice as an instructor and mentor in matters of conducting and choral music, especially early in the degree program were greatly encouraging and instilled some needed confidence in me. Dr. Ester inspired me to be a better teacher, and proved to be an excellent model to follow as a college professor. I am more confident and effective as a teacher as a result of his teaching and advice. Dr. Karna’s friendliness and prompt communication first attracted me to the program at Ball State, and his flexibility allowed me to balance the course work and caring for my family.

  • STABAT MATER Op. 58 Antonin Dvořák (September 8, 1841- May 1, 1904) Composed 1876 – 1877
    1 San Jose State University Doss-Johnson Doss-Johnson Doss-Johnson STABAT MATER Op. 58 Antonin Dvořák (September 8, 1841- May 1, 1904) Composed 1876 – 1877 Brigitte Doss-Johnson MUS 242 Dr. Jeffrey Benson May 20, 2016 2 A choir may have two to five concerts per year. One of those concerts may be devoted to a large work that takes over an hour to perform. At the rate of one per year, opportunities to sing and conduct large works are small. Some large works have been able to be enjoyed through representative movementsDoss-Johnson of shorter duration such as “He Watching Over Israel” from Mendolssohn’s Elijah, “Christ is Risen” from Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus, “Awake the Harp” from Haydn’s Creation, and “The Shepherd’s Farewell” from Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ. Dvořák’Doss-Johnsons Stabat Mater lasts near ninety minutes. Even in situations where a choir performed the entire piece, the likelihood of repeating it in ten to fifteen years would be slim. In addition to Doss-Johnsonscheduling considerations, a choir may not have the vocal stamina, access to a venue with chairs, or the level of musicianship to perform entire large works. This paper will examine how Dvořák’s Stabat Mater may be performed as a partial work and set criteria for determining what sections of the Stabat Mater would fit smaller time constraints. The benefits for this approach are increased exposure, more variety in text and composers, and broader education for the conductor, vocalist, and audience. First a history of this piece, and the text will be given.

Despite this emphasis on sacred genres, Gounod is much better known as a master of French opera than as a composer of religious works. Likewise, Gounod’s choral music, the majority of which is sacred, remains largely unfamiliar. His sacred choral music includes sixty-five motets, six Anglican anthems, three oratorios, four sacred cantatas, nineteen French devotional partsongs, and twenty-one masses. This document examines Gounod’s twenty-one mass settings to clarify the importance of religious choral music in his creative activities while identifying qualities of his sacred compositional style.
