Bandits ambush others on the road. They get wealth, but they stay in one place. Lovers keep moving, never the same, not for a second! What makes others grieve, they enjoy! When they look angry, don't believe their faces. It's spring lightning, a joke before the rain. They chew thorns thoughtfully along with pasture grass. Gazelle and lioness, having dinner. Love is invisible except here, in us. Sometimes I praise love; sometimes love praises me. Love, a little shell somewhere on the ocean floor, opens its mouth. You and I and we, those imaginary beings, enter that shell as a single sip of seawater. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by the Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and the Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six...    less

Video came in from Canada, USA, and Mexico. Show More for song lyrics. directed and video edited by Richard Janzen music mastered by Brandon Janzen This Still Room text by John Greenleaf Whittier music by Jonathan Adams And so I find it well to come for deeper rest to this still room; for here the habit of my soul feels less the outer world's control. The strength of mutual purpose pleads more earnestly our common needs; and from the stillness, multiplied by these still forms on either side. The world that time and sense have known fall off, and leaves us God alone.  less

A restless, energetic SATB piece suitable for collegiate choirs. A driving piano part--influenced by minimalism and rock music--provides a rhythmic impetus for more expansive, colorful vocal lines. At turns frenzied, lyrical, and visceral, this piece pays disillusioned tribute to that not-so-glamorous icon of the open road, the Greyhound bus.
