Magnificat, for unaccompanied choir, was written for the New York Virtuoso Singers in 2000. It is dedicated to the loving memory of my great-aunt Dorothy McMullin, Sister of Mercy (1904-1999), whose love and joy, kindness and good humor inspired all who knew her.
“my heart was pounding as we stood up—so scared—and then we sang—we were perfect—and from then on it was tremendous—so gorgeous—the fugue—the tremendous ending—singing our hearts out—the tears right there—feeling so great—everyone immediately stood up & cheered & applauded—SO FANTASTIC—me singing with the Pittsburgh Symphony!”
As we move towards the sunrise being central archway in May/June you can see more and more of the archway being lit up by the sun's golden light each day. This morning on Glastonbury Tor, taken from St Michael's tower.
@Glastomichelle I happened to hear Debussy's Nocturnes + the SIrenes choir of women's voices part when scrolling up to this image from Glastonbury Tor's St Michael's tower, fitting each other perfectly.
Listen to the rising music to see. Vastly evocative of the light with the whifts of the blue morning skies seen through the arch.
