A dear friend once remarked that Southern California's San Timoteo Canyon would be a good

place in which to commit suicide. This set the mood for settings of passages from the First and

Second Epistles of Paul to Timothy -- meditations on the divine and mundane, preached

respectively over J.S. Bach's Cantatas No. 140 ("Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme")and 80 ("Ein

Feste Burg ist Unser Gott"), with anachronistic sermon substitutions of two 19th-century hymns:

the Welsh St. Denio (1839) associated with Immortal, Invisible (Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824-

1908), and Frederick C. Maker's St. Christopher (1881, a.k.a. Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869). Other expository diversions include evocations of 1950's rock

and roll, beguine, rap, minimalism, 12-tone tonality, soft-shoe, George Gershwin's Porgy andBess, synthetic scales, and Martin Luther.

Dynamics, save Music for Three Deacons, are ad libitum throughout, reflecting Bach's notation.
