To begin with I wasn't sure, since they seemed somewhat repetitive, but as the day progressed to the early afternoon I found that I was also inspired (I even missed lunch!). The piece varies in mode from D Dorian to A Aeolian. The performance is by me (multi-tracking).  

Poem by Filippo Sirotti (b.1967) In the time that doesn't want to pass, in my heart I feel a strength that pushes me to say: "us" And when the sun has gone, I look for you in the sky among the other Stars.

As my soul is with you in the sweet night, and feels happy waiting for you, because nowhere is far. Recorded by Matthew Curtis (ChoralTracks).

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
