Oorspronklik

Only a Couple Fishes. An animated retelling of the Loaves and Fishes story, with "generosity" at its core. Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. For SA choir, piano. Anthems, Canons, Sacred, Christian, Thanksgiving, Latin Jazz. Medium. Choral Score. Duration 4 minutes. Published by Seafarer Press. SF.SEA-116-00. The verse of this timeless tale is infused with dry wit and Latin jazz rhythms, while the canonic chorus is a graceful prayer of thanks. During performance of Only a Couple Fishes, the audience may be invited to sing the chorus with the choir. The chorus, entitled Song of the Five Thousand, may be performed separately by a choir or congregation. Technical notes. Much of this song is in unison, with a descant during a short bridge. The chorus is sung in unison until its final occurrence, at which time it may be sung in 2, 3 or 4 parts, with or without the participation of the audience. Composer's note. The mystery of this timeless story lies in the source of the limitless bounty -- does the feast come from a divine source, or from human generosity. It was important to me to tell this story with pluck, but to preserve this all important question. Commissioned by American Composers Forum's Faith Partners Program. Themes. Community, Gratitude, Social Justice.

Die geheim van hierdie tydlose verhaal lê in die bron van die onbeperkte oorvloed - nie die fees kom uit 'n goddelike bron of van menslike vrygewigheid. Dit was vir my belangrik om hierdie storie met pluk om te vertel, maar dit al die belangrike vraag te bewaar. In opdrag van die Amerikaanse komponiste Forum se geloof Vennote Program. Temas. Gemeenskap, dankbaarheid, Sosiale Geregtigheid.
