Salutation Ēriks Ešenvalds b. 1977 In one salutation to thee, my God, let all my senses spread out and touch this world at thy feet. Like a rain-cloud of July hung low with its burden of unshed showers let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee. Let all my songs gather together their diverse strains into a single current and flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee. Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day back to their mountain nests let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home in one salutation to thee. —Rabindranath Tagore
Two Latin Motets Domine, ad adjuvandum me Gottfried August Homilius 1714–1785 Lord, my God, assist me now. Make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end, Amen. Alleluia!
Confitebor tibi, Domine Josef Rheinberger 1839–1901 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart. Deal bountifully with thy servant, That I may live so to observe thy word. Quicken thou me according to thy word.

The Music of Stillness Elaine Hagenberg b. 1979 There will be rest, and sure stars shining Over the roof-tops crowned with snow, A reign of rest, serene forgetting, The music of stillness holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising Out of a dream in my lonely mind. I shall find the crystal of peace, – above me Stars I shall find. —Sara Teasdale
Christopher Webb, piano
New Compositions by BYU Singers Alumni An Ode from the King Kameron Kavanaugh
If I once dancing gaily Were not to impart to thee Truly I spy thee daily What folly I thōht to see.
Reflect mine own reflection, The devil who lies to me. Your heart worthy of affection, The truth is what it be.
To sing of a king To dream of a dream A dance of a fool and a fidgety-mæn—
This draconian man hardly can stand With his heart like a coal burning hot in your hand
—A fevered mæn to soothe. —Russell Lovelett
