NOON I look into the sky, Where cirrus clouds collide, Laze in the summer light, While the breeze talks to me. EVENING A time for rose-red thought, Long shadows casting, Memories fleeting, Fading and fraught. DUSK Dusk is for grieving, And for private tears. Perhaps for believing Despite what we fear. © S N Solomons June 16th 2009  less

In it, Dromgoole tells the story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in the evening as he is unafraid, then builds a bridge to span the tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build the bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime. the old man lifts his grey head and responds to the questioning traveler that a youth is to follow after him. He too, would need to cross in the twilight dim. the old man answers, “I am building this bridge for him.” the commission process was an interesting and fascinating one in which to be involved. Dr. Dickau was originally approached a year or so ago by the chorale, and was inter...    less

Música: Alberto Favero Si te quiero es porque sos mi amor mi cómplice y todo y en la calle, codo a codo, somos mucho más que dos. Tus manos Son mi caricia, mis acordes cotidianos, te quiero porque tus manos trabajan por la justicia. Tu boca que es tuya y mía, tu boca no se equivoca. Te quiero porque tu boca sabe gritar rebeldía. Si te quiero es porque sos mi amor mi cómplice y todo y en la calle codo a codo somos mucho más que dos Y por tu rostro sincero y tu paso vagabundo y tu llanto por el mundo porque sos pueblo te quiero. Te quiero en mi paraíso, es decir que en mi país la gente viva feliz aunque no tenga permiso Si te quiero es porque sos mi amor mi cómplice y todo y en la calle codo a codo somos mucho más que dos Tus ojos Son mi conjuro contra la mala jornada. Te quiero por tu mirada que mira y siembra futuro Y porque amor no es aureola ni cándida moraleja y porque somos pareja ...    less

THANK YOU! "Where then could pain find a hold?" is a musical plea for reconciliation addressed to those (individuals, groups, nations) who find themselves in conflict. I would like to acknowledge pianist Fred Hersch whose magical playing of Billy Joel's "And so it goes" in the middle of an Ottawa winter inspired me to start working on this piece. I would like to thank my Ottawa singing friends in the "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. I would also 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 27 years. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey. NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can conta...    less
