Just before he leaves, he reassures his loved ones who remain after him with the words of consolation: 'In my mind all is beautiful'. The theme would fit perfectly for funeral. The piece is available in the following arrangements : - for SATB Choir & piano. - for SSA Choir & piano. - for Solo voice, SAT choir & piano. - for Solo voice & Piano. As the piece hasn't been performed by a choir yet, you can listen to the original version. Here are the lyrics: Calmly, my soul is ready to go. Now, it is time to say 'Goodbye'. Yes, it is time to say 'Goodbye'. In my mind all is beautiful. In my mind, all is beautiful in my mind. Still my heart is so close to your heart, But the time comes to say 'Goodbye'. Sadly, it's time to say 'Goodbye'. In my mind all is beautiful. and from up there, I will ask all the angelsTo take care of you my love. and, I will pray every day and I will wait 'Til you come find me above.  less

"Choral music is a perfect example that something can equal more than the sum of its parts. By working together, we can do amazing things. In a time of divided ideologies, global uncertainty, and in a place like Chicago where entire neighborhoods can be overcome by violence and hopelessness, what better antidote than choral music to bring people together and make them a bit happier?" - Mark Tomasino, Founder & Artistic Director  less

The Joy Voices Choir has not stopped: we have chosen a song from our repertoire and each of us, from our own home, has recorded it. The result is, for us, a new performance, different from the usual, which we share to send you our best wishes so that you can spend this difficult period serenely, despite everything. Our thoughts and prayers are dedicated in particular to those who fight the virus in the front line, to those who work to guarantee us the essential services, to those who are alone, to those who are sick, to those who are in despair, to those who did not make it and to those who have lost a loved one. Let us send a message of hope for the future, raising our voices to the Lord, confident that He will listen to us and that we will soon return to embrace Him again. Let us remain distant but unite...    less
