Gawthrop text by Jane Griner Performed by Octarium from the Essentials album In my heart's sequestered chambers lie truths stripped of poet's 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

Our repertoire is all original, written by choir members and has emerged as a new tribal choral tradition that honors death as a natural, expected, sometimes very inspiring event in a life. While we don't require auditions, our welcome process is rigorous. This kind of Singing is spiritual work and is deeply rewarding for those who are called to it.
