I have posted two new versions of my musical compositions on my music website, jsgraves.musicaneo.com. One is a new version of my Love Beyond All Telling for children’s choir. The words are from a poem by Little Rock poet Carol Sieman:
Oh Love beyond all telling, You come to this poor dwelling and make yourself at home, You feed my soul with bread and wine, You fill my heart with angel joy, You lead my thoughts to heavenly places, revealing saintly prayers and faces, You live in my heart, You live in my heart.
The other work is my Song of Mary (Magnificat), the abridged version for adult choir, a new more compact version of this large work to be used as a stand alone anthem. The work includes settings of the traditional Hail Mary, as well as portions of the Magnificat.
Both of these works may be viewed on my music website, jsgraves.musicaneo.com. Please take a look.
