Thomas, David Evan
Of Things Hoped for
|
Of Things Hoped For begins with a modest arching phrase, supported by a descending pedal line. The ensuing meditation develops a new melismatic idea along with toccata elements, leading to a grand statement. A dance follows, based on the melisma, which stretches and flips the material. The little bass line from the opening re-asserts itself as a soprano tune, first in a quiet B-major episode, then?triumphantly and in D major?in the trumpet. The two movements may be performed together, or may stand alone; they would work well in a worship setting. Thomas was commissioned to write this work by Marilyn Biery in honor of James Biery?s birthday in 2001, it was premiered by James in May, 2001, at the Cathedral of St. Paul in St. Paul, MN. Organ
