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

Stay, stay, until the hasting Day Has run but to the evensong; And, having prayed together, we will go with you along. We have short time to stay as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you or anything. We die as your hours do, and dry away Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.  less

Abendlied/Lullaby von/by Björn Mummert sung by Skt.Michaelischor Schleswig, Lyric sense: Good night, another Day is ending, asking for it's sense, haste hinders the view on the world of god. But at night, time has no power, so rest in the palm of gods hand. God night. God night, Let go All your doing, during sleep everything may rest. So devote yourself and OUR time will stand still. But time of god is named eternity, so lay down in the palm of gods hand, god night.

For a long time, I felt there was an a cappella choral piece hiding within it, in plain sight. One Day I got inspired and gave it a try. Creating a choral adaptation of a piano piece has its chAllenges. I tried to keep faithful to Satie's original musical inspiration and created lyrics to go with My arrangement that evoke an early summer morning, one of My favourite times of the year. Several months later, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to My delight I was accepted. "As dawn breaks" was one of the pieces that this amazing choir sight read for me on the spot. VCC director Jon Washburn and choir members then provided me with valuable feedback, for which I am very grateful. NB: One Day I woke up to the realization that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group ...    less

II Sing to us, cedars; the night-wind is sighing, Is wooing, is pleading, to hear you reply; And here in your arms we are restfully lying, And longing to dream to your soft lullaby; While we swing, swing, And your branches sing, And we drowse to your dreaMy whispering. III Sing to us, cedars; your voice is so lowly, Your breathing so fragrant, your branches so strong; Our little nest-cradles are swaying so slowly, While zephyrs are breathing their slumberous song. And we swing, swing, While your branches sing, And we drowse to your dreaMy whispering. http://www.choirplace.com...    less
