Incarnation by Dorothy Hindman

SATB choir with divisi Approximate performance time: 2:30 Year composed: 1998 Incarnation was written in the summer of 1998 on a text by Harvey Ragland.  Harvey had already written the text for my previous anthem Resurrection, and gave me the text of Incarnation as a Mother’s Day 1998 gift, as I was expecting my first child then.  As Harvey had intended Incarnation to be a suitable text for a Mother’s Day anthem, he focused on imagery suggesting childbirth, the experience for Mary, and the human aspects of Christ’s incarnation.  I found the text to be a compelling new image of the Christmas story and chose to set it as a carol instead of Mother’s Day anthem, although it is suitable for both. – Dorothy Hindman Text Through the night of mean expectation Shepherds watch heaven’s dreaming eyes, Faintly cries the first fruits of creation, And the Word explodes the sky. From the dark in fear of knowing the light of Love freely bleeds, A mother’s arms gently holding A simple faith’s most precious seed. In the shadows despis’d and forgotten Find a stable rude and spare Where wrapp’d in weakness the Only Begotten Takes a sinning world’s honest share. — Harvey Ragland Related
