VI) of the Requiem that I composed in 2007, as performed by the Orlando Chamber Singers under the direction of Gregory Ruffer on May 18, 2008. I had wanted to write a requiem for quite some time, having been swept away by the Requiems of Brahms, Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Mozart and Daley. "Life's work well done, Life's race well run, Life's crown well won, Now comes rest." --- Edward Hazen Parker If [they] have given you delight By aught that [they] have done, Let [them] lie quiet in that night Which shall be yours anon: And for that little, little span The dead are borne in mind Seek not to question other than The [deeds] [they] leave behind. --- Kipling Pictures: random shots from London, UK; Washington, D.C.; Toronto, Canada; Tulum, Mexico.  less

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. photos courtesy of FreeFoto http://www.freefoto.com/index.jsp  less
