VI) of the Requiem that I composed in 2007, as performed by the Orlando Chamber Singers under the direction of Gregory Ruffer on May 18, 2008. I had wanted to write a requiem for quite some time, having been swept away by the Requiems of Brahms, Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Mozart and Daley.

Currently numbering 18 Singers, FCC has a broad repertoire featuring everything from early music and traditional pieces to the works of contemporary composers such as Whitacre, Pärt, Lauridsen and McMillan, and is highly regarded at home and abroad. In 2011, we travelled to Trondheim, Norway, to take part in Sangforening, a major festival featuring hundreds of Norwegian choirs, and were the first ever foreign choir invited to take part. 2012 saw us visit Languedoc, France, where we gave concerts in beautiful old churches in Alzonne and Montréal, near Carcassonne. We are active in radio and television, having featured in many broadcasts of recorded and live services by the Irish national broadcaster RTE, including one recorded in Swords CoI church which was broadcast on Christmas day, 2010 and Easter and Advent services in 2012 and 2013. We are frequently asked to perform at weddings and corporate events and recently had the pleasure of ...    less

Hablo, canto, duermo, me levanto; Rezo, grito, es una confusión tras otra. Una confusión aquí, una confusión allá, Una confusión arriba, una confusión abajo, Confusión en todos lados, una confusión tras otra. Mis pensamientos son confusos, Mis acciones son confusas, Mis palabras son confusas, Mi visión es confusa. Todo está enredado: Dolor y alegría, duda y fe, Aversión y esperanza, bien y mal. Mi cabeza da vueltas y vueltas, Todo está enredado. Qué confusión! Día a día, lucho una batalla; La contradanza vuelve a comenzar a diario. Canto, bailo, grito: “Hurra!” De repente y rápidamente vuelvo a estar en la confusión. En medio de e...    less

It has been declared one of the State songs of Louisiana as a result of its association with former State governor and country music singer Jimmie Davis who, along with one Charlie Mitchell, bought the "rights" to the song from Paul Rice (of the Rice Brothers Gang who first recorded it) for $35 in late 1939; Jimmie Davis published it, with "words and music by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell". There are still people alive, however, who remember hearing the song long before 1937 and what these people remember is the name of the musician with whom Paul Rice played in the early 1930's: Oliver Hood of LaGrange, Georgia. Contrary claims notwithstanding, Oliver Hood wrote "You Are My Sunshine." He wrote the words to the song on the back of a brown paper sack, which his children still possess, and he first performed the song at a VFW convention in LaGrange in 1933; he sang it through a megaphone out of a hotel window, and he sang no less than twenty verses, most of which...    less
