Last year my Nephews Jake & Oliver recorded a new vocal and we captured them in a video. This year I have spent several months creating a new video with some stunning winter scenes for your pleasure. I hope you enjoy this song once again this year. * Copyright Darren & Wayne Bartlett - DMBMUSIC * * Flying over the clouds footage used by kind permission of Cloud9* * All additional Footage courtesy of pexels.com & pixabay.com* www.darrenbartlett.co.uk Copyright DMB MUSIC 2000-2020 www.dmbmusic.co.uk  less

We are brothers of the same species and maybe we do not realize but our differences- ideological, behavioral, religious, gender, etc. - In truth are skills to complement us and if we unite them, we will have access to all the knowledge of all the truths existing in humanity. We must be tolerant and learn from one another because we are in the same boat traveling together and to live a wonderful life, we must listen to each other and unite to awaken our kindness and create synergistic relationships. So we will always remember that we are the same species and we will find peace. To acquire copies of the scores write an email to contact@santiagoveros.site  less

World premiere of "Do you Know the Song the Angels Sang" by Villa Park, IL composer John Milne. Sunday, 12/2/19 Congregational Church of Batavia, IL

The oratorio was first performed in Manchester Cathedral in 1994. This psalm forms the climax of the whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after the tragedies of the previous sections. In this “extracted” version, the tragic surroundings of the history remain in the background and the purebubbling joy of the psalm itself shines forth. Enjoy the complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition of the piece and will, I hope, encourage other church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in their repertoire.  less
