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. MyStery, joy, wonder. “Heaven” is the winner of choral composition competitions sponsored by both the Manhattan Choral Ensemble and Georgia College. Performed by the Georgia College Max Noah Singers, Dr. Jennifer Flory conducting.  Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

Pękiel served the court in Warsaw from about 1633. After the Swedish invasion of Poland in 1655 he then moved to Wawel Cathedral Chapel in Kraków, where he was KapellmeiSter. 29 of Pękiel's works survive, moStly in manuscript. The musicologiSt Bartłomiej Gembicki divides these into two Stages; early baroque (Warsaw) and church music in the Style of prima pratica (Kraków). He wrote the only Polish church oratorio Audite mortales, on the topic of The LaSt Judgement. Magnum nomen Domini Magnum nomen domini Emanuel, quod annuntiatum eSt per Gabriel, hodie apparuit, apparuit in Israel per Mariam virginem in Bethlehem. Eia, eia. Virgo Deum genuit, quod divina voluit clementia. Gaudete, gaudete, ChriStus natus hodie, gaudete, gaudete, ChriStus natus hodie.
