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

The form of our love is not a created form. Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt The current take me. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by The Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and The Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by The thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from The Persian by Coleman Barks, for double choir and organ. The poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, The giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and The ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, sp...    less

Directed by Ken Jenson. Lyrics: The hollow winds begin to blow, The clouds look black, The glass is low; Thee soot falls down, The spaniels sleep, The spiders from Their cobwebs peep. Last night The sun went pale to bed, The moon in halos hid her head; The boding shepherd heaves a sigh, For see, a rainbow spans The sky! The walls are damp, The ditches smell, Closed is The pink-eyed pimpernel. Hark how The chairs and tables crack! Old Betty's nerves are on The rack; Loud quacks The duck, The peacocks cry, The distant hills are seeming nigh. How restless are The snorting swine! The busy flies disturb The kine; Low o'er The grass The swallow wings, The cricket, too, how sharp he sings! Puss on The Hearth, with velvet paws, Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws; Through The clear streams The fishes rise, And nimbly catch The incautious flies. T...    less
