When I wrote Galaxies I thought "No matter how far away we are, each person is like a star that shines and gives warmth to those who love and value. It is like a galaxy where each star, although separated By thousands of light years, is part of a communit...

Now you are white and in you,​ my color reflects. I eat memories but can't get full. Long nights go By when I howl for you like a dog. You stop but I went into the silver moon. the storms passed and wars stopped. Times changed and we changed as well. My story now is white and in it your color reflects. After three lifetimes we will meet again. the castle will resurface to which even time ...    less

STALLINGS Sleep, she will not linger: She turns her moon-cold shoulder. With no ring on her finger, You cannot hope to hold her. She turns her moon-cold shoulder And tosses off the cover. You cannot hope to hold her: She has another lover. She tosses off the cover And lays the darkness bare. She has another lover. Her heart is otherwhere. She lays the darkness bare. You slowly realize Her heart is otherwhere. there's distance in her eyes. You slowly realize That she will never linger, With distance in her eyes And no ring on her finger.  less

Hush thee, my baBy, the night is behind us, And black are the waters that sparkled so green. the moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us At rest in the hollows that rustle between. Where billow meets billow, then soft By thy pillow; Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease! the storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee, Asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas.

It’s ALL Canadian and features some of the best award- winning musicians in the country: Anne Lindsay, Tony Quarrington, Stuart Laughton, Stephen Tam, Jordan O'Connor and Kate Carver. Cantores Celestes commissioned five of the pieces without grants of any kind (two By Tony Quarrington, two By Anne Lindsay and one By Clifford Ford). the music will make you happy and be the sound track for your day. the fiddle soars. the double bass grooves as the guitar and piano support the voices of Cantores Celestes. there is trumpet, flute, organ, mandolin and harmonica. there are love songs and odes to the sea. A wildly different tune called Hauntings is based on a scary tale from New Brunswick. This recording promises to be a highlight in your collection. www.cantorescelestes.com  less

We live in the night ocean wondering, What are these lights? 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 poems By the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from the Persian By Coleman Barks, for double choir and organ. the poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, the giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and the ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, speak to us with both vivid immediacy and transcendence. the idea for the piece originated with the Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in ar...    less
