hey we're sry abt our version of lux aurumque. we had no idea it was yours. i ripped it from a CD a choir friend of mine gave meHey! Just heard your Water Night . It's real dense (the harmonies). You can "feel" it. I like the way you "pack" the vocals (chords); awesome!just stopping by to listen and show support.Water Night reminded me of the choral piece from "Behind Enemy Lines". Nonetheless, very captivating.All comments (19)

hey, wow I recognize so many titles since our chorus has/is doing them. But definitely good job on the music; it's gorgeous!! I love Eric Whitacre - great to hear some done. I agree with the person saying you should try some Moses Hogan - a very different feel but it'd be cool to hear what you could do with it.
