Secrets rushing without sound Crying from your hiding places — Let me go, I cannot bear The sorrow of The passing faces. — People in The restless street, Can it be, oh can it be In The meeting of our eyes That you know as much of me?  less

THANK YOU! "Where Then could pain find a hold?" is a musical plea for reconciliation addressed to those (individuals, groups, nations) who find Themselves in conflict. I would like to acknowledge pianist Fred Hersch whose magical playing of Billy Joel's "And so it goes" in The middle of an Ottawa winter inspired me to start working on this piece. I would like to thank my Ottawa singing friends in The "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments. I would also like to acknowledge The a cappella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for Their musical inspiration These past 27 years.
