Article: Amarillo Civic Chorus Men Records "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep"
The Amarillo Civic Chorus offered to record the new commissioned work "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep" which was commissioned by the Amarillo High School Bel Canto Chorale Men for the 2008 TMEA Convention. This was a great opportunity to have my piece performed by two different age groups. Both groups performed the piece beautifully and I have to say it's impossible to pick which recording I like better because there are unique qualities in both groups that give the piece it's life. For anyone studying the difference between high school age males and older male voices, these recordings will tell you much.
This is the recording of the Amarillo Civic Chorus Men in the Globe News Performing Arts Center:
