So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom, beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars. Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air; And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair; And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome; But when it comes to living there is no place like home. I like the German fir-woods in green battalions drilled; I like the gardens of Versailles with flashing fountains filled; But, oh, to take your had, my dear, and ramble for a day In the friendly western woodland where Nat...    less

But I took on the challenge and here is the result. As always, comments are most welcomed. Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info. 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. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less

Over the years the interest in polyphony, the study of the repertoire and the vocal approach has grown. the group has joined the A.R.S. cori (Regional Association of Choirs of Sicily) and consequently to FENIARCO (National Association of choirs) with the involvement in all the regional and national demonstrations promoted by the aforementioned organism: exhibitions, concerts and gatherings for choirs. Numerous shows are made, we mention some more suggestive: the performance of some unpublished musical works by don Luigi Sturzo edited by Nicolò Maccavino of the Italian Society of musicology (2003).  "the word sung" the multimedia show for chorus-voices, video projections and orchestra (2009); the CD recording of the traditional POPO MEO of the Easter Triduum in Scordia (2009); the event "et incarnatus est", symphonic lyric concert for solo...    less
