Take a brief look into the life of us on-board the P&O cruise ship Ventura as it cruises around the Canary Islands. A brief stop off in Lanzarote. It's hard to believe we actually did any work! Soundtrack recorded live in the back of a car while at a gig!

These are strange, hard times: we must #stayathome for our own health, to protect other people and to fight a virus called Covid-19. But Music doesn't stop and the Vox Canora singers, even though physically distant, want to try to "Fix You" with this video where you'll find the typical Vox Canora moments of irony. We are longing for the day we will meet, hug and sing together but for the moment we must #STAYHOME Director: Monica Lodesani Audio and video processing: Marzio Morini Arrangement: Lorenzo Subrizi Vox Canora Ensemble Vocale: http://www.voxcanora.it/ https://www.facebook.com/voxcanoraitaly/  less

The European choirs that hosted the SCCC, could not stop talking about their talent, technical ability and discipline.

(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) The soprano joins the choir for the twice-repeated middle section of the piece. The music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) The tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “The Song of Songs” for male voice and band. That piece is dedicated to my wife, Ruth, hence the connection. If that were not enough, our daughter is named Naomi! The Song of Ruth closes with a recapitulation of the music from the opening, but with new words assigned to it, and with the soprano soloist providing a descant for it. (“May the Lord cause ill fate to befall me, and more, if anything but death separates me and you.”) Appropriat...    less
