Joshua's music is beloved by audiences across MN and the upper-Midwest. His music fuses many styles and techniques; Ancient chant, Medieval organum, Russian orthodox liturgy, and the shimmering harmonies of modern choral music, to name a few. Audience members often comment that Josh's music is their favorite part of a From Age to Age concert, or they will ask Josh why we didn't perform another known favorite of theirs that Josh has written. Nice's music is well suited for advanced high-school, collegiate, community and professional Choirs. Joshua is accepting commissions for the upcoming 2012-2013 season. If you're interested in commissioning Joshua to write a piece for your group, and/or if you would like to purchase his music, email: joshua_g_nice@hotmail.com or find him on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Joshua-G-Nice/274021048193  less

Llega la hora del olvido los recuerdos se oscurecen los arboles vuelven a la tierra los mares a los cielos el tiempo va retrocediendo y tú te olvidas de mi Llega la hora del eclipse las luces ya desaparacen los amore vuelven al pasado los fuegos al espacio el tiempo va retrocediendo y tú te olvidas de mi Llega la hora de la sombra las estrellas cambian de color los amores vuelven al pasado mientras te sigo mirando el tiempo va retrociendo y se que no vas a volver poem by Kico Gonzalez-Risso translation The hour of forgetting arrives memories darken trees return to the earth the sea to the skies time is receding and you forget me The hour of the eclipse arrives the lights already disappear the planets return to the infinite the fires to space time is receding and you forget me The hour of the shadow arrives stars change their colour lovers return t...    less

He invented the early British form of minimalism known as systems music, with his early "Machines". Humming And Ah-ing Machine is an innovative and fun composition by John White for unaccompanied SATB chorus. The work is made up of short repeated phrases that evolve and entwine, creating a hypnotic and exciting overall work. We performed this piece at a concert in St Michael's Cornhill, London, in 1983.  less

It was one of his most popular madrigals, as well as one of the most internationally famous songs of the period. It is apparently based on John Dowland’s “Flow, my Teares”. Like Dowland’s lyrics, these lyrics express an intense melancholy of someone whose happiness has been abruptly shattered and desires to not be saved from this dark despair. The speaker wishes his death by drowning in his despair, in his tears. The expression of melancholy, and notions of darkness, neglect, Time’s cruelty, spiteful age, were themes used by Elizabethan songwriters to prefigure the stark inevitability of death, and it remained a prominent feature of English literature and music in the time of Elizabeth I and Shakespeare.
