Choral Song On Colossians 1: 15-16 and 17-18 by Thomas R. Schadl

Christ Is Exactly Like God By Thomas R. Schadl

Based on Colossians 1: 15-16, the music is about the supremacy of Christ. The piece is suitable for church service, and may be sung on Christ The King, New Year's Day, Church Anniversary, Easter Sunday and other religious events. The work may be sung at choral-singing events. When learning this piece, attention is paid to timing and pitch; applying the piano or organ accompaniment while the choir sings the notes before singing the lyrics would be helpful to develop the feel the music, as this work is sung without any keyboard accompaniment.

God's Son Was Before All Else By Thomas R. Schadl

Based on Colossians 1: 17-18, the work is about Christ being the head of the church, and is written using 16th century contrapuntal techniques that were applied by Palestrina, William Byrd and other composers. Other than being suitable for church service, this choral, which is performed without any keyboard accompaniment, may be sung at choral-singing events or at hymn-sing festivals. Attention is paid to timing and pitch; applying the piano or organ accompaniment while the choir sings the notes before singing the lyrics would be helpful to develop the feel the music.

Fugue In D Major For Organ By Thomas R. Schadl

Written in a style reminiscent to the fugues of J. S. Bach and Palestrina, this work is educational in that it explores how the main theme and the second theme are treated. The devices used include retrograde, inversion, augmented versions, and the alternation between subject and real answer. Fugue in D Major, being a majestic and uplifting in character, is suitable for memorial services, postludes, and for other occasions. In performing the work, the principal chorus would be a good choice of organ registration for the great division and a quieter registration for the swell or choir division. As the piece progresses towards the end, reed stops may be added to bring brilliance to the work.
