I would like to thank my Ottawa singing friends in the "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. I would also like to acknowledge the a capella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 27 years. And I would like to acknowledge the Boston-based Blue Heron Ensemble for introducing me to the haunting music of Guillaume Dufay, which served as a major inspiration for this piece. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey. NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact me ...    less

Video Direction: Andrew Staples Sound Engineering: Sound Mirror I In a garden shady this holy lady With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, Like a black swan as death came on Poured forth her song in perfect calm: And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer, And notes tremendous from her great engine Thundered out on the Roman air. Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited, Moved to delight by the melody, White as an orchid she rode quite naked In an oyster shell on top of the ...    less

Go, sleep little Jesus! The wind's riding by To set all the candles Alight in the sky. A candle for Kingship, Sweet laughter it brings And mirth's golden music, The riches of Kings. Go sleep little Jesus! The wind's riding by To set all the candles Alight in the sky But oh! in the skytop Up there I can see A cross, it's shining, It's shining on thee, Go sleep, little Jesus! The wind's riding by To set all the candles Alight in the sky. "Star Candles" is available on the compact disc Joyous Day! distributed through Clarion Records.
