About the work: The text is set to emphasize the universal message of a letter over 500 years old, with a message as timeless as ever. The theme of finding the sacred in the present moment appears in all of the major mystical traditions of those who seek union with the divine. The text speaks to the incarnation of the divine in every moment, a message that is appropriate not just during a particular season, but every day of the year. About the text: This beloved text has been popular in the United States and beyond for the last century. The work is attributed to an Italian Friar named Giovanni Giocondo though the British Museum is unable to conclusively authenticate this. In the Theosophical Quarterly (July 1910) the question was raised as to provenance of the letter dated 1510. “Is it a genuine antique, or a modern composition cast in an antique form?” Most poignantly the author answers the question as follows: I, for one cannot tell you. Nor do I see that it matters. The only important question is whether the message is true or not; and I think it is - profoundly true. * Although the text is suitable for year round use, its association with the Christmas season in the United States in the 20th century was due in large part to a small printing of three issues in 1920's totaling only 250 copies in all. The letter was published under the title: “A medieval letter from Italy : being an expression of Christmas wishes from Emerson Knight.” The association with Christmas has ever since been inseparable. About the composer: Composer, Dr. Michael John Trotta is a frequent guest conductor and clinician with a variety of ensembles throughout the country. His compositions are published with Walton, Alliance, Colla Voce, GIA, Kjos, Carl Fischer, Alliance, and MorningStar and are performed all over the world. He earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting from Louisiana State University, and a Bachelor of Music (Music Education) and a Master of Music (Choral Conducting) from Rowan University. As an educator, he has held positions at the middle school, high school, and university levels. He is currently the Director of Choral Activities at Virginia Wesleyan College. He lives in Virginia Beach with his wife Rachel, an artist, singer, writer, painter, dancer, and educator who is a living reminder of the M.C. Richards quote, “All of the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.” He was honored by the Foundation for Excellence in Education and received the ASCAP Award for significant contributions to the area of Choral Concert Music.
