IV Maria (from West Side Story) LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990) ARR. WILLIAM STICKLES The most beautiful sound I ever heard: Maria. All the beautiful sound of the world in a single word: Maria. Maria, I’ve just met a girl named Maria, And suddenly that name will never be the same to me. Maria! I’ve just kissed a girl named Maria, And suddenly I’ve found how wonderful a sound can be. Maria. Say it loud and there’s music playing. Say it soft and it’s almost like praying. Maria, I’ll never stop saying: “Maria!” – Stephen Sondheim (b.1930) I Feel Pretty (from West Side Story) LEONARD BERNSTEIN ARR. WILLIAM STICKLES I feel pretty, oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright. And I pity any girl who isn’t me tonight. I feel charming, oh, so charming, It’s alarming how charming I feel. And so pretty that I hardly can believe I’m real. See the pretty girl in that mirror there, Who can that attractive girl be? Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile, such a pretty me. I feel stunning, and entrancing, Feel like running and dancing for joy, For I’m loved by a pretty wonderful boy. – Stephen Sondheim Somewhere (from West Side Story) LEONARD BERNSTEIN ARR. ROBERT EDGERTON There’s a place for us, Somewhere a place for us. Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us somewhere. There’s a time for us, Someday a time for us. Time together with time to spare, Time to learn, time to care. Someday, somewhere, we’ll find a new way of living, We’ll find a way of forgiving, somewhere. There’s a place for us, A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we’re halfway there, Hold my hand and I’ll take you there, Somehow, someday, somewhere. – Stephen Sondheim Carolyn Sybesma, accompanist CONCERT CHOIR
V Sing to the Lord AMERICAN FOLK HYMN ARR. ALICE PARKER (b.1925) Sing to the Lord, you heav’nly hosts, Think, O my soul, the dreadful day, And thou, O earth adore, When this incensed God Let death and Hell throughout their coasts Shall rend the sky and burn the sea Stand trembling at His power. And fling His wrath abroad. His sounding chariot shakes the sky; Let all that dwell above the sky, He makes the clouds His throne; And air, and earth, and seas There all the stores of lightning lie, Conspire to lift Thy glories high Till vengeance darts them down. And speak Thine endless praise. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams, The whole creation join in one And from His awful tongue To bless the sacred Name, A sov’reign voice divides the flames Of Him that sits upon the throne, And thunder roars along. And to adore the Lamb! – Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Set Me as a Seal (from A New Creation) RENÉ CLAUSEN (b.1953) Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it. – Song of Solomon 8:6,7 Paratum Cor Ejus (from Beatus Vir) ANTONIO VIVALDI (1678-1741) I. Antiphon Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, In mandatis ejus volet nimis. Who finds great delight in his commandments. II. Paratum cor ejus Paratum cor ejus, sperare in Domino, His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord, Confirmatum est core jus: His heart is secure, he will have no fear; Non commovebitur donec In the end he will look despiciat inimicos suos. in triumph on his foes. Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, Justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi: His righteousness endures forever; Cornu ejus exaltabitur in Gloria. His horn will be lifted high in honor. – Psalm 112:1, 7b-9 Donde Hay (1980) PAUL F. PAGE Donde hay fé, hay amor; Where there is faith, there is love; donde hay amor, hay paz; where there is love, there is peace; done hay paz, está Diós; where there is peace, there is God; y donde está Diós no falta nada. and where there is God, then nothing is lacking. – Spanish Proverb
