  Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Aurum, aurum!"
  
  Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info, or to obtain a copy of the score.
  
  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
