Cynthia Schuneman of E.C.Schirmer

August 31, 2012 by David Janower Leave a Comment

I just found out that Cynthia Schuneman of E.C. Schirmer died 2 weeks ago. What a wonderful woman. At conventions I’d gladly talk to her and Bob. She was one of those folks who was really interested in your and supportive and helpful and just wonderful to talk to. She will be missed. We are all a little poorer now.

RIP, Cynthia. Thinking of you, Bob.

Composer Dale Trumbore‘s I am Music (SATB Chorus & Piano | 6′) is newly available from the G. Schirmer Dale Warland Choral Series. Commissioned by Brandon Elliott and Choral Arts Initiative, the music begins with energetic excitement and ends serenely, following the powerful statement “I am the instrument of God” as the choir whispers “I am music.”

TEXT

“I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves, and damns.
I am the incense upon which prayers float to heaven.
I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips.

I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open, I stand nearby.
I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths.
I open the lips of lovers and through me the dead whisper to the living.

I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field,
the crash of the waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard
by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets.

Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship.

I know my brother, yet all men are my brothers;
I am of them and they are of me, for I am the instrument of God.
I am music.”

—Anonymous, ca. 1919

May both his memory and his musical legacy be blessings.
