While shepherds watched their flocks by night in various melodies
It all began with the idea one morning that the "other tune" for Nahum Tate's Carol "While shepherds watched" is,

of course, the Yorkshire ditty "On Ilkley moor bar t'hat".
Well, as the day progressed to afternoon, other tunes got added, resulting in a curious potpourri for choir and piano.
The choir gets to sing "On Ilkla Moor", the Este psalter tune known to all, and also Auld Lang Syne.
The second voice, in its madrigalian way, gets a sly English cadence!.
Meanwhile, the piano also gets some sly references to "Sing a song of sixpence" and "Scotland the brave".
I sang it in G (ATBB) on this video, to fit my multitrack range,
but mixed choir versions are also available on musicaneo:
in C (SATB) (fairly high for the sopranos)

and in Bflat (SATB) (fairly low for the basses)

David Rain: "Rex Pacificus" (sung by Matthew Curtis)
Dedicated to my dear cousins Gigi and Raven.
Since first singing the medieval song "All and Some" in the mid 1990s, I fell in love with the Middle English and Latin lyrics, and one day I got inspired to create my own setting of this poetic gem.

NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact The Leading Note at 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 25 years.
And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey. less

English Translation:
Oh! What an unbearable pain!
Oh, gracious God!
What an unbearable sorrow!
The third bell of the Cathedral just rang;
The sun set long ago behind Mount Lopital...
Mother Nature derailed, straining everyone to misery.
Large structures and small rafts have turned to dust and ashes.
Jesus, Marie, and Joseph... Grace and Mercy...
Mother Nature derailed, straining everyone to misery.
We see, but we don't understand,
It happened so suddenly.
The earth trembled!
The earth shook harder than a desert's leaf.
Help! Help! Rescue me, I beg you!
I'm at a loss for words...
Dies irae, dies illa; (Day of wrath, day of anger)
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
(Grant them eternal rest, Lord.)
Haiti! Haiti! What an unbearable pain,
Tighten your belt.
Haiti! Haiti! You are a valiant woman,
Hang in there, don't give up...
Rubberneckers from everywhere ask: "How's it going?"... less
