The work is a melancholic love song that is based on a folk like melody underlined by a constant pedal point, resembling the sound of bagpipes.  

English Translation: Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall rise the guilty man to be judged; Therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord, grant them eternal rest. Amen Taghkanic Chorale https://www.taghkanicchorale.org/ May 2020

He had retired 12 years previously. What was once a packed out mass full of Joy and prayer, families and young couples, singles and religious, was now a quieter mass with no choir and I saddened by this. I offered my services as a singer and musician to come and provide music for the 5:30 mass and within a few short weeks I returned to the place I consider my spiritual home. I had not purposely set out to start a choir but people began to approach me with a desire to sing and it was a need within the community I was not going to Ignore. On the 12th Dec 2008 The Jes Gospel Choir was birthed with 5 singers and me & it was a wonderful experience and we received a very warm welcome. Within a year the choir grew to over 15 members and some musicians. The wonderful thing about this choir is that it is a choir that breathes. People hav...    less
