The Awakening (TTBB) - Joseph Martin, b. 1959
Men of the Dallas Chamber Choir
I dreamed a dream.
A silent dream,
Of a land not far away.
Where no birds sang,
No steeples rang,
And teardrops fell like rain.
I dreamed a dream
A silent dream
Of a land so filled with pride
That ev'ry song,
Both weak and strong,
(Withered) withered and died.
I dreamed a dream.
No alleluia,
Not one hosanna,
No song of love,
No lullaby.
And no choir sang to change the world.
No pipers played; no dancers twirled.
I dreamed a dream,
A silent dream.
Silent. Silent....
Awake! Awake! Awake! Awake!
Soli Deo Gloria! Awake! Awake!
Awake! Awake, my soul, and sing!
The time for praise has come.
The silence of the night has passed;
A new day has begun.
Let music never die in me!
Forever let my spirit sing!
Wherever emptiness is found,
Let there be joy and glorious sound.
Let music never die in me!
Forever let my spirit sing!
Let all our voices join as one
To praise the Giver of the song!
Awake! Awake!
Let music live!
-Joseph Martin

I sang tenor 1 in this song and it was a really magical experience especially the no alleluia and the soli deo gloria part... this is an amazing choir to listen to.

My Choir Teachers final piece for the rest of her long 40 year career at my highschool was the most important thing to her. After almost all year of looking, her and I stumbled apon this song and starting sobbing! She wanted this song to be performed as her last Harah! Also to remind her students and HERSELF to "let music never die". During the performance it was difficult to keep my composure watching my now retired director start to cry as the song reached its climax. A magnificent and passionate piece that will always have a very special place in my heart!!

One of my fondest high school memories is of singing this song in a TTBB arrangement at Nebraska’s annual men’s choir festival. 600-some voices from age 14 to 70, all joining as one to praise the Giver of the song. Ten years later and it still gives me chills, and this is the best recording of it I’ve found yet.

~200 male ensemble in my state, we did this, FILLED the church with chords and joy, (almost) literally blew the roof off the place, it was so amazing. 440 mixed ensemble, we did a song called "I am Loved" and you learned what FORTE really was. Still, beautiful, keep it going
