My friend Steve Schalchlin's cantata, "New World Waking" premiered last night, at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, sung by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Kathleen McGuire. It was a night none of us will soon forget. This video only catches a bit of the flavor of the evening.
I have watched this several times, and I love it more every time.

Well, to tell you the truth, I actually did tell Jim it was time for him to do what he always does when I write a score: WRITE A MUSICAL AROUND IT!!
