Hi there. I know that you get a lot of comments and praise for your wonderful music. I recently lost my mother to cancer about 6 months ago now and ever since, my love for composing hasn't quite been the same. It was if I had lost all touch with the music that had beat within my heart. Thank you, Westminster Chorus, for being the musical defibrillator that has ignited my passion and humility for harmony and music once more.

This is by far my favorite performance of this piece. I sit, close my eyes, and just listen. The warmth from all male voices is just stunning. Nothing else to say but pure perfection and beauty.

They PERFECTLY nailed that chord at 0:56; the tonality, the crescendo... Good lord. You can see it on their faces too. Would kill to hear this piece performed live in this cathedral.

A friend just played this for me tonight. THIS IS TRULY THE MUSIC OF HEAVEN! The music of the spheres! Of the angels! Of God's gift of music to man. Stunning! Sublime! Exalted! Magnificient! Exquisite and shimmering perfection! Unearthly...otherworldly...soaked in God. This music IS the condition of being in a state of grace.

It's amazing what your training has done for you in promoting Barbershop and Acapella singing. As an older singer in another chorus, I would hope that you would eventually diffuse your amazing talents among the rest of us and make the entire Barbershop world better. Keeping all that talent in one place is a bit selfish. We need your voices to make us all better.

For the majority of time that I have been able to sing, dissonance is something that was NOT tolerated...until Eric Whiteacre came around. His mixed chorale version is wonderful, but having sang BHS/SPEBSQSA, there's something about male voices by themselves, or female voices even, that is special. I felt each rub, and it further touched nerves deep within my soul - chord after chord, after chord. One word: Other-worldly.
