Epiphany (B • 2024)

Dear Friends,

I wish to thank you —truly, from the bottom of my heart— THANK YOU for over five wonderful years of music making. Wednesday evening left my heart feeling so very full, and I am so very grateful to you all for all the love you have shown me. I have grown into a new man during my tenure with you, and I am certainly not the music director I was when I first arrived… You all helped me grow in innumerable ways, and put up with all my follies and foibles… and we managed to still smile and laugh besides! Gold Stars all around! (Halos too!)

Now, on to business:

For Enixa Est Puerpera I have prepared very short, organ only demos of each part. They are of the first page only (but the same notes repeat throughout the whole piece). Hopefully these are sufficient, until such time as I can make a fully-sung version.
