World Premiere - June 4, 2015 Lord of Life Lutheran Church Fairfax, Virginia - - - SydneyGuillaume.com - - - French text by Gabriel T. Guillaume: Musique Fidèle compagnon, expression de nos âmes, Musique, nous t’aimons, rallume notre flamme… Tu es la vie, tu es lumière; Tu es la flamme qui éclaire. Du lever du soleil jusqu’aux ombres du soir, Dans nos moments d’angoisse, au sein de nos déboires, À toute heure, en tous lieux, En toutes circonstances tu brilles sous nos yeux. Musique de nos joies! Musique de nos pleurs! Que serions-nous sans toi? Tu es notre Bonheur. Par ta douce clarté ranime notre monde; Remplis-nous à jamais d’une bonté profonde. Que les hommes, tous en chœur, chantent tes mélodies, Pour que notre univers devienne symphonie. Musique, nous t’aimons, ranime notre monde. - - - English Poetic Translation: Music Loyal companion, expression of o...    less

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.  less
