On Friday, May 16th, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus held an all-day rehearsal for their Spring concert. One of the songs they sang, of course -- the reason I'm here -- is that they sang a song written by me and Peter Carman called "My Rising Up," which is from the upcoming cantata for peace, "Pantheon Bar & Grill."

I snuck my camera in. I'll tell you all about the concert in my next blog. But for now, here they are in rehearsal:

Oh, Steve, that was so wonderful, I don't know what to say, except I've got tears streaming down my cheeks. Congratulations!

Dear Steve,

A wall of men?

A plush depth of male voices
A tapestry of harmony
A carpet of sound, of chords, of blended voices, of hope named
A singing up
A rising up
A joyous up
A dancing in my heart up

How did you find both the joy and longing of my gay soul and put it in your song?

Brian
