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.
