I composed this melody while worshiping God near sunrise at a lake on a backpacking trip in Mammoth, California on 07/09/2023. I wanted to compose a canon that children could easily sing to God, creating harmony and counterpoint by just learning the melody and singing it at different times.
I began the melody with a simple accompaniment to allow the listener to enjoy the melody before the complexities of counterpoint in the canon section. The music spins out of the canon into a descending fifth sequence with a 5:3 polyrhythm. I ended with a homophonic texture (using primarily 1:1 counterpoint) to focus on the melody with added harmonic richness through double stops.
I enjoy combining what I like best about music from various periods: Gregorian chant-inspired melodies, Renaissance counterpoint, modal & tonal harmony, impressionistic and jazz-inspired color harmonies, and more contemporary cross-rhythms and meters. My aesthetic is post-modern, while my values are simply to walk with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
Amen.
(Numbers 6:24-26, NKJV)
God bless you and yours,
