I would like To thank my Ottawa singing friends in the "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. I would also like To acknowledge the a capella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our direcTor Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 27 years. And I would like To acknowledge the BosTon-based Blue Heron Ensemble for introducing me To the haunting music of Guillaume Dufay, which served as a major inspiration for this piece.
