"How heavy lies the heart" has drawn inspiration from the traditional French Christmas carol, "Quelle est cette odeur agréable", which John Gay also set as a boisterous drinking song in the Beggar's Opera, "Fill every glass, for wine inspires us!" In addition, the song draws inspiration from Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua.

"How heavy lies the heart" was one of the pieces that this amazing Choir sight read for me on the spot. VCC director Jon Washburn and Choir members then provided me with valuable feedback, for which I am very grateful. I would also like to acknowledge the a cappella Choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre M...    less
