Life is a Circle was written for the Salt Lake Vocal Artists and had its official world premiere at the symposium. Life is a Circle By Black Elk ~ Oglala Sioux ~1863-1950 Everything the power of the world does, is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its' greatest power whirls. Birds make their nests in circles; for their's is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back to where they were. The life of a man is a circle, from childhood to childhood. and so it is with everything where power moves.  less

Italy Tour: September 7-15, 2011 Text (English translation): Poetry by Alfonsina Storni Two Words Tonight you murmured two simple words into my ear. Two words shopworn from use. Words so old, they are new. Two words so sweet the moon floating beyond the trees' branches pauses to fill my mouth. Words so melodious, when an ant inches up my neck, I make no move to brush it off. A pair of words so sweet that despite myself I say "How lovely life is." Calming, gentle, they are like scented oils poured over my body. So sweet and beautiful and my nervous fingers rise toward heaven in imitation of scissors. Yes, tonight my fingers would cut out the stars.  less

The joins are barely noticeable! The Hubbard Saga was written specially for Sale Festival 2001 and follows the antique antics of the fabulous dog of Old Mother Hubbard. The Children's chorus echoes the barking of the dog whilst the adult Choir takes us through the story. Then the children -- one by one tell us the story behind the poem itself. The forces are: Children's Choir (in 2 parts) Adult Choir (SATB) Flute Clarinet String quartet Chorus part http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/8121318?aff_id=175705 Full score http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/8121304?aff_id=175705 parts also available for rental at http://www.classicalmusicnow.com/rentalcat.htm  less
