He Started The Whole World Singing A Song, Brian R. Cates Dec 2014

He Started The Whole World Singing A Song, Brian R. Cates

B.A. in Music Senior Capstone Projects

Throughout history, people from a variety of backgrounds have commented on the relationship between music and language. Several say that music transcends language; some refer to music as being another language; others believe music actually speaks. In spite of a diversity of responses, there is still a collective sense that music and language are intriguingly related—a profound, intuitive awareness of some type of bonding agent between the two. Music has also been perceived throughout history to possess meaning and power, both on a grand, cosmic level and an anthropic, human level. For the Greek philosopher Plato, music acted as something …

First Flight, Alisha Symington Dec 2014

First Flight, Alisha Symington

Student Composition Recitals

In early September I had the opportunity to travel to Florida by airplane for a friend's wedding. Flying is a form of transportation I have always been most drawn towards: the excitement of finding the right gate in the airport, the rattling take off, and the breathtaking clouds. Fortunately, I have had many opportunities in my lifetime to fulfill my enjoyment of this thrill. As I sat on the plane, I attempted without success to remember the first time I flew in an airplane. I started to think what it would feel like to experience this for the first time. …


Emergence, Michael Carbaugh Dec 2014

Emergence, Michael Carbaugh

Student Composition Recitals

Emergence was one of the first pieces I wrote when I came to Cedarville. It was a significant step in my learning experience as I employed different writing styles and scales. The name Emergence came about as I was listening to the finished piece. At first, the piece seems triumphant and glad, but then it retreats into a piercing dark for a time. However, the triumphant tune returns in the end, brighter than before. The piece reminded me of a walk a dark place. The dark portion reminded me of cautious steps through mysterious, eerie circumstances, but the ending signifies …


Whole-Tone Sax, Joshua Drake Dec 2014

Whole-Tone Sax, Joshua Drake

Student Composition Recitals

Whole-tone Sax is my very first composition for alto saxophone. I came up with the opening theme while experimenting with the whole-tone scale, hence the title. Although the piece begins with a lively excursion into the whole-tone landscape, I quickly depart from it and began transposing my theme into more familiar diatonic (major and minor) scales. This was very necessary as the whole-tone scale can quickly become monotonous if you're not careful and exceptionally creative. The second movement is much calmer and peaceful in contrast to the first. Again, I chose to stay away from the confines of the whole-tone …


Suite From Know Me, Sean Kisch Dec 2014

Suite From Know Me, Sean Kisch

Student Composition Recitals

This piece acts as a preview for the show Know Me, a dance-theatre show I created with my older sister Haley, who is currently studying dance at Anderson University in Indiana. The show is loosely based on the parable of the Good Samaritan, and it combines many styles of dance, including ballet, modern, jazz, swing, and tango. The show will be performed at Cedarville on January 18, 2015, and in Anderson on January 24, 2015. In this suite, you will hear many of the main themes, each of which represents a specific character or place. Even though you will …


What If..., Calvin D. Hitchcock Dec 2014

What If..., Calvin D. Hitchcock

Student Composition Recitals

My enigmatic title presages the sinuous gestures found in the music. I invite you to consider the various forms of ambiguity implicit in the score as you experience this work with little foreknowledge of its terrain.


Chrysalis, Sean Kisch Dec 2014

Chrysalis, Sean Kisch

Student Composition Recitals

I owe a great deal of thanks to both the clarinetists and Dr. Curlette for putting a great deal of time into this piece. Chrysalis is quite challenging, both technically (because of the complex rhythms and counter-rhythms) and musically (because of the unique harmonic language). The idea behind Chrysalis is that the tiny phrases, syncopations, and runs would create the picture of a thousand tiny little pieces being changed and rearranged, much like how God transforms a caterpillar into a butterfly. Also like a caterpillar, near the end of the piece, the quartet goes through a transformation as well, as …


Heavy Droplets In The Light Rain, Michael Carbaugh Dec 2014

Heavy Droplets In The Light Rain, Michael Carbaugh

Student Composition Recitals

Heavy Droplets in Light Rain is a Bach-inspired, fast-paced violin solo. It’s a piece filled with minimalistic changes. Listen for the heavy droplets, the changing notes, among the light rain (the repeated patterns).

Stewardship In Free Markets And The Sanctification Process, Jeffrey E. Haymond Nov 2014

Stewardship In Free Markets And The Sanctification Process, Jeffrey E. Haymond

Business Administration Faculty Presentations

This article reviews the biblical doctrines of sanctification and stewardship, and assesses the implications for economic institutional arrangements. Sanctification is one part of the process of salvation, yet it is the one aspect (in addition to initial repentance) that requires human partnership with what God is doing to redeem a people. Sanctification is seen to be the changing of our heart’s inclinations as we increasingly apply the truth of God in our daily, moment-by-moment actions. Thus our freedom to choose has eternal consequences as we become increasingly conformed to the image of Christ. While sanctification occurs in many facets of …

What’S The Deal With Corporate Prayer In Church?, Jeremy M. Kimble Nov 2014

What’S The Deal With Corporate Prayer In Church?, Jeremy M. Kimble

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications

Corporate prayer in a local church setting can feel like a mundane item in the midst of a worship service. However, such a practice allows for a unique opportunity for the leadership of the church to instruct and intercede for the congregation in specific ways. This is a part of the worship service that is often overlooked and given very little thought, but I would encourage pastors to be intentional and thorough as they approach this sacred moment with their people. Here are some key thoughts on the practice of corporate prayer.
