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.

Nunca sobran manos. Plegaria por la vida, "Ave María" de Morten Lauridsen. Esta hermosa obra de amplísima tesitura estrenada el 14 de diciembre de 1997 por Los Ángeles Master Chorale dirigido por Paul Salamunovich, fue compuesta como regalo por el 70 cumpleños del propio Maestro Salamunovich. Se trata de la segunda composición de Morten Lauridsen que interpreta Camerata Lacunensis que en 2004 incorporó a su repertorio "O Magnum mysterium" del mismo autor. La interpretación corresponde al XXXII Certamen Coral Fira Tots Sants, III Premio "Firacor", celebrado en el Centre Cultural "El Teular" de Cocentaina, Alicante, el 10 de Noviembre de 2012. Con esta obra abríamos nuestra participación.  less
