I felt the inspiration to start this piece in the weeks leading up to the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, in which my dear grandfather Jimmy Rain (1895-1974) had served in the Canadian forces, in one of the most dangerous roles, as a runner in northwestern France. This song honours his memory and the love that he showed me as a boy and a young man growing up. Shortly after starting this piece, I then learned that my dear cousin Jamie Shaw (1959-2019) was gravely ill and with his permission, I have dedicated this piece to him as well.

Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Directed by Jessica Loman. Recorded live at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Sunday, May 6, 2012. Text: there will be rest, and sure stars shining Over the roof-tops crowned with snow, A reign of rest, serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and low. I will make this world of my devising, Out of a dream in my lonely mind, I shall find the crystal of peace,--above me Stars I shall find.  less
