You Are My Refuge - Virtual Choir - Michael John Trotta

Описание: Sheet Music: https://www.mjtrotta.com/music-catalo...

This stunningly expressive 3-minute a cappella work was commissioned for high school choir programs forced to cancel concerts due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Inspiring and reflective, poignant and full of hope.

Over 200 singers from five high schools learned the piece separately (using part-dominant guide tracks), and individually recorded their performance for the virtual choir premiere.

Dedicated to the memory of John Corley
Commissioned by the Oak Park High School Choir, Oak Park, CA 2019-20

JOHN CORLEY loved the Oak Park High School Choir, where his two daughters sang for four years. He would regularly volunteer his time and was always sure to arrive at concerts at least an hour early, because he had to have the best seats in the house. It is in this spirit that John’s family chose to contribute a donation raised in his memory to the OPHS Choir to support music-making for years to come. John passed away from cancer in May 2019, but his light and memory will never fade. We wish to express our thanks for his wife, Rosalie and two daughters, Alexandra and Francesca for supporting this project so that John’s love of music can be shared with choirs all around the world. “

YOU ARE MY REFUGE was commissioned to bring hope and comfort to the over 100,000 public and private high school choir programs throughout the United States who were forced to close and cancel concerts, musical production performances and events due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Five high schools came together from coast to coast to perform this premiere work, virtually and make this dream a reality. We would all like to express our heartfelt thanks to Michael John Trotta for giving us this opportunity through his beautiful music, to connect with others during this time of isolation.https://www.mjtrotta.com
