But I took on the challenge and here is the result. As always, comments are most welcomed. Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info. 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 26 years. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less

She has more hair than she needs; In the sun 'tis a woe to me! And her voice is a string of colored beads, Or steps leading into the sea. She loves me all that she can, And her ways to my ways resign; But she was not made for any man, And she never will be all mine. This work was commissioned and recorded remotely by Choir Matrix Women's Ensemble in March 2021, sponsored by Consonare Choral Community who holds all rights to this recording.

Las distintas secciones de este movimiento frenético, redoble de campanas y voces locas, declaman esta llamada de fuego en una energía casi incontenible. Autor: Patrick Burgan, sobre tres poemas de Mark Blanchet "Soleils Abeilles aux danses enfiévrées Soleils Mondes enflammés Résonnez à notre appel Résonnez! Lór de vos fléches Transperce nos voix Nous danson, ivres de lumi`re Sur la voie lactée Votre ronde sauvage Entraîne nos rires Qu'ils éclatent Dans l' espace infini de vos flammes Qu'ils consument à jamais l'obscurité O Soleils, vous le savez la joie est soeur du vertige Ses lèvres ont l'éclat du vin."

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese, Oboe: Lisa Gelfand. there is no rose of such virtue As is the rose that bare Jesu; Alleluia. For in this rose contained was Heaven and earth in little space; Res miranda. By that rose we may well see That he is God in persons three, Pari forma. the angels sungen the shepherds to: Gloria in excelsis deo: Gaudeamus. Leave we all this worldly mirth, And follow we this joyful birth; Transeamus. Alleluia, res miranda, Pares forma, gaudeamus, Transeamus.  less
