Program Notes
Jocelyn Hagen’s oratorio amass is proving to be a very fertile ground for continuing inspiration and work. This season, the Midwest District of Kappa Kappa Psi [honorary band fraternity] has commissioned Jocelyn to create a new work for band based on her two popular choral works from the oratorio: the Sanctus and Benedictus. This new arrangement will be titled Hymn to St. Teresa, in honor of her contribution in poetry to the oratorio. The piece was premiered by the North Dakota State University Concert Band during the spring of 2018.
Deeply powerful and moving, this shining work honors prominent Spanish mystic St. Teresa of Avila, who stated: "Prayer is an act of love, words are not needed."
