This short, lively SATB piece is loads of fun and highlights the quintessential elements of the Acadian folksong tradition: podorythmie (seated foot-tapping), diddlage (mouth music), and the spoons. But, it also stretches the tradition to include more modern elements. Don’t be fooled by thinking this is just a simple folksong. It is a challenging and complex piece that reflects the innate musicality of this long-standing Canadian oral tradition. Though this folksong can be found in other parts of French Canada, I chose to feature the Acadian dialect in this rendition because it is emblematic of the role that language sometime plays in creating social inequity. Story synopsis: For those unfamiliar with the language, this video helps tell the song’s funny story of a young woman, Marie Madeleine, who has a rather difficult relationship w...    less

"Secret for the Mad" by dodie I've got a secret for the mad In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad And I get that I don't get it But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it You're not gonna believe a word I say What's the point in just drowning another day And I get that I don't get it But the world will show you that you won't regret it Little things, all the stereotypes They're gonna help you get through this one night And there will be a day When you can say you're okay and mean it I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again There's nothing to do right now but try There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry And I get that they don't get it But they love you so much that you won't regret it You're at the b...    less

This piece will always remain in my heart because it has been the result of the commission of very luminous people who have given me warmth while I was recovering from a hard setback of health. This work is the adventure of mutual support. We are lighting our way but the neighboring stars -those people who are our loved ones on any plane of existence- create and guide that way with more light than we are capable of perceiving. Lyrics And the shadow of twilight fades when the light of the ancestors forms a mantle that protects and guides us. A being illuminating the galaxies The c...    less

Solve vincla reis: Profer lumen caecis, Mala nostra pella, Bona cuncta posce. Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tutum, Ut, Videntes Jesum Semper collaetemur.

Amen. 萬福光耀海星，上主的慈愛母親， 也是永恆的童貞聖女，為世人開啟了天國大門。 為世人打破罪惡枷鎖，為失明者帶來光明， 為我們驅離邪惡，為我祈求良善。 使我們保持純潔的生命，一路上得享平安， 並使我們得見耶穌，得享永遠的喜樂。 讚美天父上帝，和耶穌基督， 以及聖靈，歸榮耀於三位一體。  less
