A Child is Born
A Christmas Oratorio
A Child is Born began to take shape when Roland was young. He worked for many years on it. It was a different texture of music---seven choirs placed distantly apart; on stage, in the balcony, at the sides of the auditorium, and in the orchestra pit. Each choir singing its unique arrangement.
Poetry of Helen Parry
I'll Walk the Way with Beauty
In a box of filigree
I shall treasure carefully
The beauty and the loveliness of earth.
Safe within my box I’ll hold
pink of dawn, glint of gold
And waters stirred by
winds to sudden mirth.
Then in some far future year
when I’ve grown old, my dear
And life has slipped into a groove of duty
I shall open wide my box,
Spilling all my treasured thoughts
And once again
I’ll walk the way with beauty.
