I was on the 1 train on Manhattan’s West Side one day when I saw the poem “Heaven,” by Patrick Phillips. I was immediately captured by the simple beauty of Patrick’s poem, and the mystery of the first line, “It will be the past.” I loved his vision and thought immediately that I wanted to compose music for this poem.

Performed by the Georgia College Max Noah Singers, Dr. Jennifer Flory conducting.  less

The sense of wonder teaches us to discover all the beauty and the magnificence of the creation, and the extraordinary richness of our humanity. Diversity and unity, respect and solidarity, compassion and generosity are what makes a free man.” -Gabriel T. Guillaume (Lyricist & father of the composer) - - - score available at: https://sydneyguillaume.com/product/le...    less

The Choir of King's College, Cambridge sing John Rutter's "Dormi Jesu". This was its first performance - 1998. Love the unexpected ending.

[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Over the years I have run choirs and singing groups all based on the same principles, but in different locations. The general mix of genders, ages, backgro...
