MY RED BOOTS is based on one of only several poems written by my mother, Jewish Holocaust survivor Rita Hoffman of blessed memory (1927–2018). Both she and my late father, Josef Hoffman, were Jewish Holocaust Survivors. My mother’s brief memoirs are housed at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. I have been trying to hear music for MY RED BOOTS for decades. It is fitting that my muse cooperated with me when I was seeking a text to set to music for the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir’s 2024 call for scores, because global anti-Semitism has not been this rampant since the 1930s. During the events of October 7, 2023 in Israel, "Babies were taken from their mother's arms" just as in my mother's poem. Those with a conscience in the World must keep this evil from "happening again, and again, and again!" MY RED BOOTS My red boots and ruby earrings were s...    less

Performed by the Case Concert Choir at Case Western Reserve University, conducted by Dr. Christopher Clark. Premiered on April 20, 2026, at Florence Harkness Memorial Chapel in Cleveland, Ohio. Odes of Love is a piece about what matters most: life itself. Santiago Veros is now creating a national initiative for this work. One choir in each U.S. state will receive the Exclusive State Premiere Rights for Odes of Love. the idea is simple: one choir, one state, one local premiere. This initiative brings together strong choirs from across the country and gives each director a meaningful way to share this music with their own community.  less

Unfortunately, a ladybug lands on her neck, however, which distracts him. He then removes the ladybug, but sadly the kiss flies off forever! If you enjoy this musical trip down memory lane, then I invite you to consider making a donation to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada or an Alzheimer's support group in the area where you live. Thank you! https://alzheimer.ca/ Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "La coccinelle", which is dedicated to Emma. NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact me at rain@magma.ca.

And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their inval...    less
