Thou reign'st with God the Father in Eternity, Lead us, erring sinners, unto heav'n and thee. Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison. (Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy).

He shall feed me in a green pasture : and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. He shall convert my soul : and shall bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake. Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me 'gainst them that trouble me : thou anointedst my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. For Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. (Psalm 23) Sung at Canterbury Cathedral during our Royal School of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one of the altos.

Let your moderation be known unto all men the Lord is at hand! Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So I decided to have a go at performing some of his works.they are in a style that I’ve not sung for over 20 years (evangelical church choir), but the old fervour still comes out in the performance: I was transported back to those good old days as I sang.

I have given this Song the sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to Sing, rolling Rs like crazy, with no holding back. NB: One day I woke up to the realization that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group them together into a choral suite that I have called "the Ottawa Four Seasons Suite." "Let's Sing, it's Spring!", with its rouSing coda section, works perfectly as the cloSing number of this suite. Also of note, in early 2018, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted. "Let's Sing, it's Spring!" was one of the pieces that this amazing choir sight read for me on the sp...    less

Sing, Be, Live, See. This dark stormy hour, the wind, it stirs. the scorched earth Cries out in vain: O war and power, You blind and blur, the torn heart Cries out in pain. But music and Singing Have been my refuge, And music and Singing Shall be my light. A light of Song Shining Strong: Allelulia! Through darkness, pain, and strife, I'll Sing, Be, Live, See...
