The following was just posted to YouTube less than a month ago. It's a hauntingly beautiful adaptation of my "Creator of the Stars of Night" for Soprano with accompaniments. Enjoy.

I love this arrangement. This would be lovely for Candlemas Day. Our children's schola is learning your Adorna Sion, Charles, for our Candlemas Day celebration.Thanked by 1CHGiffen

Ah, yes, the music is essentially the same as that of my "Creator of the Stars of Night" with interpolated "chant" using the melody of the first stanza.Our children's schola is learning your Adorna Sion, Charles, for our Candlemas Day celebration. -
Yes, and it's such a lovely, ethereal melody, and the harmonized sections in your Adorna, Sion are beautiful.Thanked by 1CHGiffen
