NOTES ABOUT THE MUSIC
Dynamic, tempo and other markings are intentionally omitted from unaccompanied works in order to allow each work to evolve in each performance. The lack of such markings harkens back to the traditions of chant and early choral styles in which melodic, harmonic and textual devices determined the interpretation of the overall work.
Texts used range from the Liber Usualis, Holy Bible, The Tibetan Book of the Dead as well as various poems by Ingrid Showalter Swift and others by Stephens.
The works of Joseph Gentry Stephens are registered with BMI under the Classical Music Section.
Please report all performances directly to the composer.
