With thanks to our friend Pam for emailing me a link to Lux Aurumque some weeks ago. 

Eric Whitacre's website is a feast of glorious, life- and community-affirming music - which is, of course, all the things a choir is. There is nothing we cannot do when we link up. . . especially during darkest hours.

This is the sound an Adelie makes when its radar's on the blink,

the sigh a tyre makes when it's been punctured by a nail,

the shush a woman utters when she's come a long way and there's still some distance to go

and all she wants to do is lay down her head, pack away her tools and sleep

and sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep

and sleep. . .
