So when I got this recording, not going to lie, I laid on the ground in disbelief that this was one of my songs being sung by the USC Thornton Chamber Singers under the direction of Dr. Jo-Michael Scheibe… I first had the privilege of hearing this ensemble perform at the 2015 National ACDA convention in Salt Lake City. When I was told that they would be recording my piece I was completely taken back. I think I was mostly taken back by the fact that I was not a part of that university and they wanted to record it for me still. There have been many reminders throughout my life of the blessings I have had so far with music and this is one of them for sure. I am not sure if it has quite hit me yet that this is actually a song of mine, it truly is a dream come true. Thank you to Jo-Michael Scheibe as well as singers of the USC Thornton Chamber Singers for singing beautifully. Also, thank you to Sam Wulterkens and Gillian Lea for bringing this song to life. I strongly encourage everyone to #joinchoir. The possibilities that music can offer are countless, indescribable and unpredictable. The only way to truly know what they are is to #joinchoir. You are NEVER to old or young to do this. The sheet music is available through Santa Barbara Music. To read more about the score please click here.
