think you want, but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine.”

Video of the Week: Masterpiece by The King's Singers
I met Simon Carrington and Bob Chilcott while I was a junior high student. Southwest Junior High's Bel Canto choir was chosen to be a part of an American debut concert and to sing Bob Chilcott's "Singing by Numbers". I didn't realize then how amazing that kind of invitation was. I have wonderful memories of that concert.
I continued to get the opportunity to work with Simon Carrington throughout my time in junior high, high school and even in college while he was the Director of Music at the University of Kansas. But I will have to admit that I wasn't as familiar as I should have been with the music of The King's Singers. One way or another one of their CD's finally made it into the house and for awhile there it was in regular rotation. Thanks to YouTube I have caught up even more.
I have too many favorite arrangements to list here but I was able to narrow down a piece to share for this week's Video of the Week. Imagine 400 years of western music all wrapped up into 9 minutes. Take a listen to "Masterpiece" sung by The King's Singers. Enjoy!

Video of the Week: Even in the Darkness You'll "Find the Light"
Happy New Year!
I wish for you so many wonderful things in 2013. I have been inspired by this week's video pick that reminds me that "Even in the darkness you'll find the light.".
I gave NoiseTrade a try a few weeks ago and have fallen in love with several artists and music groups that are new to me. I can't wait to feature a few of them in upcoming posts.
I am enamored with David Ramirez's intimate style and have read in several places about how humble he is as a writer and a performer. You can experience more of his music at http://davidramirezmusic.com. Enjoy!
