Les cloches tintaient, légères et franches, dans le ciel cléMent. Rhythmique et fervent comMe une antienne, ce lointain appel Me remémorait la blancheur chrétienne des fleurs de l'autel. Ces cloches parlaient d'heureuses années, et, dans le grand bois, semblaient reverdir les feuilles fanées, des jours d'autrefois. The leaves unfurled on branches so lightly delicate and soft. The bells rang out so light and free in the cloudless sky Rhythmical and fervent a distant call like the anthems of old Called to mind the pure white lilies on holy altar's sacrifice Those bells spoke to Me of happier tiMes now gone And in the great wood they seeMed to revive the faded leaves of days long since passed. singing translation (c) David W Solomons  less

Live in concert on October 11, 2022 in Lawrence Memorial Chapel under the direction of Santiago Veros. Galaxias We are all stars, we are to illuminate and be illuminated by those around us. 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.
