I wrote “Pour Toi, Mère” (For You, Mother) which premiered at My senior composition recital. A few years later, Kevin Fenton programmed that piece for his choir at FSU. He shared with me his strong connection with the piece at a time when his sister-in-law, Peggy Fenton was also fighting breast cancer. Sadly, Peggy Fenton lost her fight with cancer in 2009. That same year Kevin contacted me and asked if I would write a piece in her memory for her husband and her two daughters. He shared with me a video of a presentation she did at the Mother’s Day banquet at her church, just a few days before her passing. The title of her presentation was “From Hats to Crown”. She shared stories about her life and the many relationship roles one plays: as a daughter, a sister, as a wife, a mother and a teacher. As she talked about each role she wore a different hat.

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—Three merry ghosts— Three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "the haunted choir!" The merriest ghost that walks the earth, Is sure the ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—Three merry ghosts— Three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less

We possess a wealth of experience from the worlds of classical, Sacred and popular music and balance our Love for the old renaissance masters with a passion for exciting contemporary composers through commissioning and performing our own original material. Regardless of what we sing we believe the universal principles of perfect tonal blend, colour, and precise intonation, shine through in every performance.  less
