The Beatitudes SATB & Accompaniment

The Beatitudes
by Composer Richard Byron Strunk b. 1957

World Premier: Father's Day June 20, 2010 Sunday
Written for SATB Choir & Accompaniment
Commissioned by: the St Louis 2nd Baptist Church
Conductor: Brad Short

NOTE: Just a quick slide show thrown together to publish the audio on Youtube. The visuals are not the reason this is here.

The Instrumental gives a full rendition of the work using Strings; and this the Vocal rendition gives an abridged but decent performance by the Church choir for which the work was commissioned. The recording was a quickie recording for myself alone; I know the live performance went well; so in order for you to hear a choir sing this work I included it; however the recording was quick and has limitations; and is not included for criticism of the conductor or performers. Of course all are welcome to make comments upon the work itself. The text is hard to understand in this or any stereo recording; but far clearer and easier to understand in a live situation as noted below.
