I am

a hole in a flute

that the Christ's breath moves through --

listen to this

music.

Hafiz/Ladinsky

I think when choral music is done at its highest level, when we eliminate all of the things that will distract the human mind and ear and enable people to hear the full beauty of the music and power of that text, it can become an inspiration for people to live live that are full of more happiness, more hope, and more love.

-- Anton Armstrong

I hope the people who have heard our music were touched and, if we really did our jobs well, left as transformed human beings -- a bit kinder, gentler, and with more hope in their lives to address the challenges that they're facing.

-- Anton Armstrong

The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought.

-- Sir Thomas Beecham
