Every Minute

This composition is the latest in my personal celebration of family (all of these compositions are in the Colla Voce library)

“I see you in my heart” written with my daughter Leigh Heather’s help with the text

“In your voice” for my daughter upon a poem I wrote after she first began to sing at age two.

“More mice than three” to celebrate the creative sprit of my granddaughter, Harlyn Nova.

“every minute” to recognize that Dorian will soon have verbal questions about the world around her.  It seemed appropriate to begin with six essential questions (the five Ws and How) everyone can ask with using only one word.

I want to thank a dear friend, Sherri Matthews, choral director at Glen Allen High School,  and her magnificent women’s ensemble, Belle Cantanti 20-21, for learning and providing the expressive recording of this composition at the end of a very challenging school year.
