Music of cleansing and healing for Pentecost.- Regardless of creed and denomination, I believe this hymn speaks to us all.

„Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.“

Beyond grateful to my gifted voice students for bringing my vocal music to Austria!! It was especially moving to accompany these singers on this journey through fifteen years of my compositions.
And now back to Figaro orchestra rehearsals tomorrow... 🎶
