I just discovered the choral music of Nicholas Ryan Kelly and can't get enough of it. Brilliantly written, beatifully chosen lyrics, incredibly idiomatic and expressive in every sense of the word. And the harmomies!

[@NicholasRyanKelly]

Wow! Thank you so much... I'm glad you're enjoying it. May I quote you on that? :)

[@dionbaillargeon4899]

[@NicholasRyanKelly]

Merci! Avez-vous chanté ce chanson?

[@tous7798]

Non jamais !

I absolutely loved singing this during my time with CAI. Just brilliant music.

[@NicholasRyanKelly]

Thanks! You all did amazing work on this... I couldn't have asked for a better premiere. (Unfortunately, that's also the only time this piece has been sung! As a composer, maybe you can relate to the challenge of the 'farewell premiere')

quite lovely. Technically very complex, yet to my ear very simple and melodic. I like this very much Thanks for sharing.
