These three extended hymn tune settings exploit the full range of the Paccard 56-bell Leonidas Polk Memorial Carillon in Shapard Tower. I. R ounde d Var iati ons on St. S tephen opens (in G major) with an expansive and broadly paced presentation of a traditional Advent hymn tune in tenor bells, followed in a new and contrasting key (B major) by an upbeat verse in treble registers, with its melody displaced by half a measure and set over a syncopated tonic pedalpoint. In the third variation (in C major), a pedalled alto melody statement is ornamented above by hand-played treble passaggio counterpoint. The fourth variation returns (in A-flat major) with the upbeat treatment heard in the second verse, again over a syncopated but migrating pedalpoint; St. Stephen's melody is tonally altered and extended into a retransition, followed by a full restatement of the opening variation. An eloquent codetta rings out the hymn tune's third and fourth phrases with pealings of Advent tidings. Overall, Rounded Variations offers a palindromic structure; with sections represented by letters, it can be charted as ABCB'A, plus a codetta. II. T hre e V ers es on Herald, Sound ( with Mirror) offers what the title suggests: a melodically mirrored and tonally adjusted version of the original hymn tune. Following an introduction (in C minor) that explores Robert Powell's 'watchman' motiv, Herald's melody sounds out in alto bells, lightly accompanied above and below; the final phrases migrate down an octave and are played in the pedal. The second verse presents a mirrored tune version in F major played in treble — ii — bells, set over syncopated pedalpoints. A bridge based on the 'watchman' motiv leads back to the original tonic key for a somber but dramatic restatement of the hymn tune in low pedal bells, topped by arpeggiated figurations of exotically contrasted chords and harmonies. A brief codetta hints at the mirrored tune and concludes in quiet affirmation. III. Ca non, Air and C oda on Psal m 42 offers a motivic introduction and half of a freely disposed canon, then an intervening lilting hymn tune sounded in its entirety, followed by resumption of canonic treatment, a dramatic cadence, and finally an extended coda. The setting opens (in F major) with an introduction based on the first line of the melody – an antecedent and consequent phrase that is repeated for the second line of Psalm 42's text. The first full phrase is presented and repeated boldly in an improvisatorially fashioned canon occurring at varying time intervals between pedal and manual, then pauses as all four phrases of the hymn emerge as a treble lilt (in C major), lightly accompanied by pedal; the final phrase is extended eloquently. A canonic presentation of the third and fourth lines of the hymn resumes, then a coda further develops the closing phrases, and ends with an echo of the introduction's first phrase. he composer gratefully acknowledges the thoughtful generosity of Sewanee's commission for launching A Triptych of Advent Hymns, and for affording an opportunity to explore three contrastingly varied tunes that draw on nearly 500 years of hymn tradition. The musical setting of Psalm 42 comes from Claude Goudimel (1514-1572); over two hundred years later, the tune for St. Stepehen was written by William Jones (1726-1800); Herald, Sound was authored by Robert Powell (b. 1932) for a text by Moir A. J. Waters (19061980). All three hymns celebrate the arrival of the first season of the Christian church's calendar year.
