Sing Me to Heaven Text by Jane Griner In my Heart's sequestered chambers lie truths stripped of poets' gloss Words alone are vain and vacant, and my Heart is mute In response to aching silence, memory summons half-heard voices And my soul finds primal eloquence, and wraps me in song If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby If you would win my Heart, sing me a love song If you would mourn me and bring me to God, sing me a requiem, sing me to Heaven Touch in me all love and passion, pain and pleasure Touch in me grief and comfort, love and passion, pain and pleasure Sing me a lullaby, a love song, a requiem Love me, comfort me, bring me to God Sing me a love song, sing me to Heaven  less

I was on The 1 train on Manhattan’s West Side one day when I saw The poem “Heaven,” by Patrick Phillips. I was immediately captured by The simple beauty of Patrick’s poem, and The mystery of The first line, “It will be The past.” I loved his vision and thought immediately that I wanted to compose music for this poem. Mystery, joy, wonder. “Heaven” is The winner of choral composition competitions sponsored by both The Manhattan Choral Ensemble and Georgia College. Performed by The Georgia College Max Noah Singers, Dr. Jennifer Flory conducting.  less

(listen to The oTher two movements at The links below). The first movement depicts The remarkable story of The captured Africans who were reduced to slaves by European settlers in The American continent, particularly in The Caribbean. The second movement recounts The indepence of Haiti; and The third movement is about The Perseverance of The country which to this day, Haiti is fighting with fury to keep its freedom. “No human being must live on Their knees; slavery in all its forms is an affront to The Divine Creator. The sense of wonder teaches us to discover all The beauty and The magnificence of The creation, and The extraordinary richness of our humanity. Diversity and unity, respect and solidarity, compassion and generosity are what makes a free man.” -Gabriel T.

This is footage from The Australian Voices' Concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010. Gowned as a bride thou art Caught with The glow, Giving with ruddy Heart Blood to The snow. Thou has come in to make Dreams to The boy, Lightly The girl will take Omens of joy. Thou hast The taste of all SweetHearts in Spring, Thou hast come out to call Colours to sing. Low rides The sun above, Meek as The moon: Thou art as moist in love As a love tune. Still as a bride thou art In a bride's gown: See! an uplifted Heart Beats in a clown.
