It was a winning selection in the inaugural Pioneering Voices composition competition held by Mount Holyoke College. "delightful and whimsical....  the singers are really having fun with it." - Colin Britt  

The sixth piece in a set of Seven Marian Motets.

I am thrilled to share with you some exciting news. I never imagined that this piece would bring so many people together, but I am honored and humbled to announce that "Galaxias" has become the best-selling work in my catalogue. I'm grateful for everyone...

A choral piece composed by an 18-year old Slovenian talent Matej Kastelic (one of the singers as well). Not too perfect, but still nice performance by his Conservatoire collegues.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.  less
