Lift your feet up so you won't miss it, Wake up, take advantage, The Tap-Tap is warming up! If your legs are short, get a head start; The best time is now, Don't say you didn't know, Those who are wise are those who lead. Don't let time pass you by, It's time for you to get on board, The Tap-Tap is leaving now, It's time for us to go! Hurry up, walk quickly! Lift your feet up and don't miss it, The Tap-Tap is taking off! Don't fool around, get on! Don't wait, don't stare, Don't joke around, get on! The Tap-Tap might just leave you! Get up! Stand proud! Those of you who know what you want, Those of you with your minds made up, Don't miss a great opportunity To do something for the nation! Listen, don't miss a great opportunity to do something, Get up, stand proud, don't sit around and wait! Get up! Let's...    less

He invented the early British form of minimalism known as systems music, with his early "Machines". Humming And Ah-ing Machine is an innovative and fun composition by John White for unaccompanied SATB chorus. The work is made up of short repeated phrases that evolve and entwine, creating a hypnotic and exciting overall work. We performed this piece at a concert in St Michael's Cornhill, London, in 1983.  less

Lullaby baby, now reclining, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Angels are watching, stars are shining Over the place where he is lying: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon will come sorrow with the morning, Soon will come bitter grief and weeping: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing, Then in the grave at last reposing: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby is the babe awaking? Sing lullaby! Hush, do not stir the Infant King. Dreaming of Easter, gladsome, morning, Conquering death, its bondage breaking: Sing lullaby!  less

Since first singing the medieval song "All and Some" in the mid 1990s, I fell in love with the Middle English and Latin lyrics, and one day I got inspired to create my own setting of this poetic gem. NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact The Leading Note at 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 25 years. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less
