Despite the lively melody, the lyrics tell a story of longing and heartache, creating a mix of emotions that resonates with both joy and sorrow. Ne vous fiez pas à l'apparente gaîté de sa mélodie : il s'agit bien là d'une supplique à l'être aimé, où l'espoir d'un éventuel retour dispute sa place à l'amertume de l'abandon.

It is a complex layered poem exploring a multitude of interactions with the morning star - in naturalistic, religious, spiritual and seemingly political terms. Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Stella." To purchase the sheet music for this song, please contact: info@leadingnote.com. I would like to acknowledge the a cappella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 26 years. I would also like to thank my friends in our "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less

As the voices intensify to an incredible climax, the audience is invited to surrender to the moment. Let the soaring music carry you away, echoing the profound love for those who've journeyed beyond. Dans ce morceau très émouvant, le compositeur et le chœur rendent hommage à ceux de nos êtres chers qui ne sont plus. À mesure que les voix atteignent une rare intensité, le public est invité à lâcher prise et se laisser porter par cet instant d'amour partagé.

The wind that is battering at your gates. Lola Ridge "The Destroyer" depicts the forceful essence of wind. Gracefully waving around the globe, causing avalanches, and sweeping cities away, the piece conveys the wind's destructive potential. It personifies the wind as "The Destroyer," emphasizing its relentless power at nature's gates. Dans ce morceau, le vent, évoqué dans toute sa puissance, nous renvoie à une posture d'humilité face à la Nature. Au gré de ses humeurs, il serpente autour du globe, balaie le...    less
