(1918 - 2006)
An Open World
There is a certain madness born of sailing From port to distant port the world around. There is a certain way it has, unveiling Unused chambers of the mind so that the sound Of many different voices can be heard. – The range of human thoughts and views, From which with joy can be inferred, An open world, and paths to choose.
For unaccompanied mixed choir with piano reduction for rehearsal only
Duration: 3 minutes
An Open World is the first in a group of three settings of poems from Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew’s collection entitled And the Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 - 1979. Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929. His work in aviation started with a job as an inspector in an aircraft factory. He went on to become a test pilot in World War II, serving at the South India Air Depot at Bangalore, India, where he was sent by ship, an experience he always remembered.

When I Land
A setting of the poem by
Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew
for unaccompanied mixed choir with piano reduction for rehearsal only
BURKE & BAGLEY
Perusal Copy
Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew
(1918 - 2006)
When I Land I fly da Vinci’s dream on wings of speed, With effortless delight I cleave the air, Free in the boundless realm of sky, I feed My soul with wonder, questions seeming fair. Why brought forth to wander on this earth? Why given this brief breath of life, To wonder at our enigmatic birth, To reach for stars, want reason for the strife. Yet, being here, why try to find a plan? Why waste time in thought before we go? Is not life enough for any man? How many have, as theirs, my answer, “No.” When I set foot again upon the land, And darkness gains upon the setting of the sun, I long to feel the welcome of your hand In mine, to rest, let Time its silly cycles run, Life’s nights are all too few. No other hand, no other’s look, no other one, Can bring that peace to mind or heart or soul, No peace. Although I know there’s always fun In life, to reach that sublime goal, I must return to you.
For unaccompanied mixed choir with piano reduction for rehearsal only
Duration: approx. 5 minutes

A setting of the poem by
Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew
for unaccompanied mixed choir with piano reduction for rehearsal only
BURKE & BAGLEY
Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew
(1918 - 2006)
And the Wind
There is an awesome beauty found in sailing Through black of night upon the open sea, Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily, She plows into the darkness, And the wind.
For unaccompanied mixed choir with piano reduction for rehearsal only
Duration: approx. 4 minutes
And the Wind is the final piece in a group of three settings of poems from Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew’s collection entitled And the Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 - 1979. Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929.
