In Peace I Will Lie Down and Sleep, (2022/23)
All of the musical materials for this work are taken either from quoted hymns and folksong or analysis of church bells. “Lord of All Nations, Grant Me Peace,” “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,” “Old 100th,” “I Wonder as I Wander,” and “Holy, Holy, Holy” and recordings from churches in Golden, CO, Denton, TX, Buffalo, NY, Iceland, Germany, and Switzerland are featured prominently among the multitude of materials. It is correct to say that this composition is my own reinterpretation and expression of praise hymns and expressions of faith within my own work and life.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep,
For you alone, Lord,
Make me dwell in safety.”
- Psalm 4:8
“In peace I will lie down and sleep,
For you alone, Lord,

The electronics are cued to a variety of triggers in order to best maintain consistency and to allow for redundancy. This redundancy allows for the freedom of actualization and also for the actualization of events in relation to the live performance.
Electronics are cued by both amplitude and pitch monitoring, but it is recommended that a technician follows the score and controls the triggers for best realization. The cues can also be triggered by the space bar or foot pedal in addition to the anti-sco-fo monitoring. It is necessary that at a minimum a technician/computer performer is used to monitor the electronics.
All electronics are processed using Max 8 and utilize the CNMAT and FFTJIT max packages.
FFTJIT Package developed by Dr. Chris Poovey.
Mic orientation must correspond to:
1 – Flute
2 – Clarinet
3/4 (stereo) – Piano
5 – Violin
6 – Violoncello
