To begin with I wasn't sure, since They seemed somewhat repetitive, but as The day progressed to The early afternoon I found that I was also inspired (I even missed lunch!). The piece varies in mode from D Dorian to A Aeolian. The performance is by me (multi-tracking).

It is a complex layered poem exploring a multitude of interactions with The Morning star - in naturalistic, religious, spiritual and seemingly political terms. Sincere thanks to MatThew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Stella." To purchase The sheet music for this song, please contact: info@leadingnote.com. 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. I would also like to thank my friends in our "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. And with deepest appreciation to my broTher Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for Their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less

Well, as The day progressed to afternoon, oTher tunes got added, resulting in a curious potpourri for choir and piano. The choir gets to sing "On Ilkla Moor", The Este psalter tune known to all, and also Auld Lang Syne. The second voice, in its madrigalian way, gets a sly English cadence!. Meanwhile, The piano also gets some sly references to "Sing a song of sixpence" and "Scotland The brave". I sang it in G (ATBB) on this video, to fit my multitrack range, but mixed choir versions are also available on musicaneo: in C (SATB) (fairly high for The sopranos) http://www.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/sm-196257_while_shepherds_watched_-_in_various_melodies.html#196258 and in Bflat (SATB) (fairly low for The basses) http://www.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/sm-196257_while_shepherds_watched_-_in_various_melodies.html#196257  less
