If you like this Song, I invite you to donate to The work of OCISO (Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization) and Their support programs for refugees and immigrants to Canada: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/ociso-ottawa-community-immigrant-services-organization/ Background. In The 1970s I visited Poland twice and fell in love with Polish choral music -- and Lulajże Jezuniu became one of my favourite Christmas carols in any language. While flying from Ottawa to Vancouver in December 2017, I felt inspired and arranged most of this piece while at 30,000 feet! I must have been quite a sight conducting away in my aisle seat, with my head phones plugged into my computer. I have dedicated Lulajże Jezuniu to The late Adam and Helena Kmiotek, who showed me such generosity of spirit as my hosts in Szczecin during my second Polish trip.

THANK YOU! "Where Then could pain find a hold?" is a musical plea for reconciliation addressed to those (individuals, groups, nations) who find Themselves in conflict. I would like to acknowledge pianist Fred Hersch whose magical playing of Billy Joel's "And so it goes" in The middle of an Ottawa winter inspired me to start working on this piece. I would like to thank my Ottawa singing friEnds in The "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. I would also 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 27 years. And with deepest appreciation to my broTher Adam Rain and my friEnd Geneviève Lajoie for Their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.

Its components are professionals, wheTher singers or related to oTher areas of music or those who, despite having anoTher occupation, have a solid musical background and an extense vocal and choral experience. The unique sonority of a female group of singers, usually a capella, has been widely explored throughout The history of music by many composers from all times, both male and female. Examples of such music can be found from The Middle Ages up to contemporary music; however it is not until Romanticism that works are composed specifically for female choirs. Thus, a particular genre is born that will keep its own entity up to The present times. This genre has been especially cultivated as of late by female artists and composers. Both aspects, that is presenting works written for female choir as well ...    onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
