These pieces came on the radio just before I had to get in to work so I sat and queitly listend and completely for got for a few minutes that I had to go to work and was at peace. Nice way to start the day. Never heard of Lauridsen or his Rose Complete & Dirait-on.

For a choir to attempt these 2 movements, the director has first to be absolutely confident that they will maintain pitch in the unaccompanied Rose complete. That takes good technique and musicality. This choir has it in spades - well done to all

Thank you! We were very proud (and just a little bit relieved) that this turned out as well as it did!

A beautiful, beautiful piece. Your performance reaches the standard, well done! I can only imagine the joy of being one of singers taking part in this.
