I don't know how many time I've cryed of joy listening to this. The chords are like a continual wind, I don't think there ever was a music that expresses nature so well.

I'm flattered and touched ( :---) Ivo

Thanks for making me cry, Mr. Antognini.

I'm sorry.I Just thought it was a stretch.

This piece is something that I keep coming back to. I sang this my first semester in the concert choir at my university, and ever since then I can't get it out of my head. It's been a year and it is one of my go to pieces when I search choral music. Thank you for bringing this beauty into my life and my music career.

I`m withouth any word. Beautiful chords-colors. After listening this for the very first time, I was speachless, in silence for a rest of the day. Thank You!

So excited to do this in my High School Chorale! HSPVA Chorale is going to do well on this for sure!

I am a big fan of songs that have clashing chords so to me this song is absolutely enchanting. I am also in HSPVA chorale and I know we will do this song justice

Alejandra Pruneda we did

My choir director played this video for us in class recently because we may be singing this song sometime in the next few months, and while I listened, I was hanging on to every complex and perfect chord. At the end of the video, I could hardly speak a word. I just wanted to say how beautiful and amazing this piece is to me :)

I was listening this after rain, and its so fascinating

[@OrangeSodaKing]

I love this! We are singing it in my choir now, and it's very powerful. I think what gets me the most is how the music is beautiful and optimistic sounding, but the text is deep with dark undertones, especially about the end of humanity.

[@PLG1958]

I too am speechless. But I will try anyway. Oh my goodness, how utterly beautiful and moving this is. Thank you for writing it, and thank you for posting it.

[@dieabetesfighter]

I'm recommending this to my choir director as well, nicely done!!

This piece is so stunning and set to one of my favorite poems! I love how the musical atmosphere fits the text so perfectly and the small, clever, nuances simple enhance every word and auditory image. I absolutely love this piece and can't wait to sing it for UIL! After my choir director played this piece for our choir, there was absolute silence as we all reflected on the beauty and depth of this piece! I can not wait to see the final results! Thank you for composing a fantastic piece of work!
