It’s a rough road sometimes folks. Celebrate the good times, accept the bad times the best you can. Move forward, if you can. “And still I dream he’ll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are

This is a nice arrangement for choir of the Ian Tyson Canadian classic song. Our choir is also sing this, the only downside being is that we only have six men. Very jealous of the balance this choir has. Filed under: Music Tagged: Canada Content, Four Strong Winds, Ian Tyson,

Love the Angus Dei from this mass, getting the phrasing correct was a challenge but well worth the effort. 🙂 The Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo, Hob. XXII:7, Novello 8, is a mass in B-flat major by Joseph Haydn.[1] The missa brevis (short mass) was written around 1775 for

Haydn’s chief biographer, H. C. Robbins Landon, has written that this mass “is arguably Haydn’s greatest single composition”.[1] Written in 1798, it is one of the six late masses by Haydn for the Esterhazy family composed after taking a short hiatus, during which elaborate church music was inhibited by

A new choral season has begun and this year, for me, it will be starting with Fauré’s Automne. This is a smooth and cool piece. Written in 12/8 this tune has a more than a few rhythmical curve-balls written into the libretto. Good times. French Text Automne au ciel
