St. Francis Prayer - Margaret Bonds
The University of Utah Chamber Choir performs Margaret Bonds' beautiful setting of St. Francis Prayer. Bonds wrote this piece in 1968 but it was unpublished until 2020. This setting was part of a concert called The 42 Project, a world premiere by Adrian Dunn celebrating the 75th anniversary since Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball.
(Blame the conductor for any problems with this offering). :)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

    That’s my mentor Austin Thorpe! He’s been a leader and example of hard work and greatness to me since I met him, he took over at my high school in the school’s second year and his first year teaching high school he lead us to great heights immediately even when others doubted us and swept us and him under the carpet because of their skepticism towards us for being a new school and him a new teacher, and we proved them wrong! And he never looked back nor skipped a beat but has lead each place he’s gone to greatness among the current greats and those whom he taught have only flourished always being something greater than how he first found them. He is a champion

      @@amenenema474 in hawaiian and samoan, some words have multiple meanings, for example a word can mean love and death. or a word can be very similar to one that can be disrespectful if you don’t say it right. for example, in hawaiian moa means chicken and maa can mean stink. if you mispronounced moa for maa, it completely changes the sentence.

      @@TMSBobi And English is somehow different? English is probably one of the hardest second languages to learn because you have words that are literally spelled exactly the same but could mean 2 completely different things and you have to go specifically on context. They are trying to sing a beautiful song and they did fantastic. Everyone knows the song they were trying to sing and I guarantee that if they performed that in front of a theater full of people who natively spoke that language, they would be clapping at the end nonetheless. The critique is okay, but for not speaking that language and deciding to give it a go, they did phenomenal.

  • @BasAmmerlaan

    This is great and very relevant to my Master research. Thank you for placing this online. A detail I missed was that some diacritics could help in clarifying some of the ambiguities one can run into when using an IPA transcription. In the case of the sound in between [e] and [ɛ], one could use diacritics like ̝or ̞ to indicate a vowel being raised or lowered (i.e. more closed or more open, respectively). That could then result in [ɛ̝] or [e̞]. In fact, officially, instead of writing [e / ɛ], one *should* write [ɛ̝] or [e̞], as square brackets are generally reserved for what is known as a "narrow transcription". In general, less detailed IPA transcriptions should be surrounded by forward slashes to indicate a broad transcription. (E.g. "cool" is [kʰul] or /kul/.) Of course this is nitpicking, and most of these diacritics are needless complications for an IPA transcription for singers. In general, I try to stick to placing my transcriptions between slashes, though some diacritics really help me in pronunciation details, like the abovementioned ʰ. (The amount of simplification of the IPA and perhaps its diacritics for singers is something I intend to base my Master research on, though I'm still working on the exact research question.)
