I love you, I love you, I love so immensely, Mother, Mother, sweet Mother. For your love and your kindness, I will sing your praises all of my life.

I wrote “Pour Toi, Mère” (For You, Mother) which premiered at my senior composition recital. A few years later, Kevin FenTon programmed that piece for his choir at FSU. He shared with me his strong connection with the piece at a time when his sister-in-law, Peggy FenTon was also fighting breast cancer. Sadly, Peggy FenTon lost her fight with cancer in 2009. That same year Kevin contacted me and asked if I would write a piece in her memory for her husband and her two daughters. He shared with me a video of a presentation she did at the Mother’s Day banquet at her church, just a few days before her passing. The title of her presentation was “From Hats To Crown”. She shared sTories about her life and the many relationship roles one plays: as a daughter, a sister, as a wife, a Mother and a teacher. As she talked about each role she wore a different hat. She ended with a crown, shar...    less

It was recorded on 5th December 2010 in the Harvey Nichols Espresso Bar in Leeds' magnificent VicToria Quarter in the first of St Peter's Singers' now-traditional Sunday evening carol performances there. The choir is directed by Dr Simon Lindley, its Music DirecTor since the Singers' formation in June 1977.
