"You Speak Violets" is about a child who is quiet, but clearly has a lot going on inside. I used the music to explore and bring out this child's vibrant inner world: the deep wells of imagination and emotion that lie beneath a shy, placid surface.
I was once such a child myself (and am now, in many ways, a quiet adult). How freeing and validating it would have been to have heard this piece's sentiments back then! For those of us without a knack for words, music and the arts can be a powerful way to communicate our experiences--and I hope this piece gives voice to the forests, waterfalls, and (yes) violets blooming, unspoken, in many an introverted mind.
The text for this piece comes from Shannon Bramer's wonderful book Climbing Shadows: Poems for Children (Toronto: Groundwood Books, 2019; used here with permission. houseofanansi.... )

Hello. I love choral singing and a cappella in particular. Could you give me your professional opinion about my playlist “Avec choeur” and possibly “Church organ”? Only personal compositions. All scores are available free of charge. Thanks in advance. Best regards. JM.
