NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact the Leading Note at info@leadingnote.com. I would 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 25 years. I would also like to thank my friends in our "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less
