Feel
envy of the driven
Whose calm one claim disturbs
One cause, single and strong,
Insists be wholly given
Up to its sole purpose
With frantic speed headlong.
For these, when they have striven
(‘Though comfort it usurps)
Then know where they belong.
Or those who mould the choices
Everywhere upthrown
With such resource of time
That ‘though ten thousand voices
Call (when one alone’s
Sufficiently sublime
To make a life rejoice)
They hear ere it has flown
A majestic chorus chime!
There are
rather
fewer than ten thousand voices calling from the links listed below, but
I will keep devoting to them my remaining resource of time.

This is
the main thing I do, and have done for nearly twenty years. Almost
makes a dying planet worthwhile. I'm better at choral music than I am
at jokes.

A
double CD compilation
of folk songs sung at the turn of the century by forty or so harmonious
people I knew and treasured. "Gosh it's amazing!" says Christina
Mimmocchi. |

An a cappella
ensemble, usually eight or nine strong, formed to record my original
music and some pieces by my friend Terry Clinton. Live gigs are both
rare and valuable.

Folk vocal harmony trio
halfway through its
third decade of singing spine tingling Gaelic and English songs and
dressing up in plaidies. Gotta love that.

A
song cycle recorded
with the Song Company in 2009. Each piece expresses an aspect of that
disturbance natural to a life-loving person in distressing and
declining times. The lyric at the top of this page comes from track one.
