This is my favorite song by Craig! It is so emotional, and I love the cellist!

So lovely! Would be nice to see a mention of Emily Dickinson in the description or in the tags. She deserves credit for this beautiful poem.

@WorldCupSeoul You are clearly not a musician or any other artist by any sense of the meaning nor are you someone who possesses the intelligence to be one, let alone a critic. I could go on and on explaining the make up of this piece and the significance behind the phrasing, motives, progression, dynamic and rhythmic expression, cadences, etc. and connect them to the text using a bunch of theory jargon, but you could never hope to understand what I'm talking about. So please stay in your place

Our treble choir might sing this selection this year :) lovely song

my choir is singing this for our first concert and i fell in love with it the moment i heard the first note!!

@WorldCupSeoul Who are you to define what music is and is not? There is such beauty in simplicity. Don't miss out on it.

Such a beautiful work. This and Eliza Gilkyson's "Requiem" are my favorites of Craig's works.

I started to sing along and got goosebumps!

@WorldCupSeoul perhaps you're unable to appreciate such "simple" music. How exactly is it a copy-cat melody? I would like to hear your opinion better explained because it currently looks more like rantings of someone who cannot really appreciate simple, well-written choral music. Do elaborate on it so I can better understand why you think his music is so terrible.

@brittness2467 Congrats on making it in, that's an accomplishment. Though it's spelled "Conspirare."
