Merci beaucoup to ComposHer for this great review of "Cedit Hyems (Be Gone, Winter)" -- newly recorded by Merton College Choir & Claire Wickes, flute! "saisissant" [adj: striking, biting (cold)] = perfect word!🇫🇷 🖊️Review: composher.com/post/reves-rom… 🎧Listen: open.spotify.com/album/2V5LMCbI…

Absolutely loved recording this stunning piece by Abbie Betinis with the fabulous Merton College Choir - and pitch bends + Merton College Chapel acoustic were a DREAM 👌

This gave me much-needed inspiration today... thinking about the compositional properties of a world slowed-down... yet in constant change. Simone Dinnerstein

Next debate: no cameras, just the transcript dramatically brought to life by Nina Totenberg.

Whoa! 🎧 There's my little song on Spotify's "Classical New Releases" (between Bjork & Berlin Philharmonic)! 🐦 @CantusSings Signum Classics open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9d…

TONIGHT 7pm -- a 4-min premiere of my carol for 2020. ❄️ Inspired by (gosh…) a pandemic, doing the work of Love, having grace with oneself, honoring those we’ve lost this year, and little baby Zeezus (as my niece says). (with Laura & Anthony Healy) youtube.com/watch?v=bjkunX…

so lovely! Each year Abbie Betinis upholds her family tradition with a new carol. This year's captures our moment so well. Perfectly intimate, like most of our celebrations. By my count the 21st since we started this tradition on @classicalmpr Thanks again, Abbie!

🎶There are many ways to say I love you. 🎶

I transcribed Lady Gaga's national anthem performance, because someone had to.

The journey to get to Dessa writing @JanetYellen’s forever walk-up song, via Marketplace, is just 🤜🤛.

Hey I learned some things here! (plus it made me smile)

Find a song that loves you as much as this song loves Fiji rugby players. 😍

Of the many videos I’m seeing from #Afghanistan, this is one of the most heartbreaking. Afghan girls sing a song on the airport runway -“I became homeless”. Their sweet, soothing voices filled with the pain so many there are feeling. Via Abu Muslim Shirzad x.com/MuslimShirzad/…

Hey world! Stop what you’re doing and just practice saying, “That’s a great idea.” FULL STOP. You don’t need to add “actually” to any part of that sentence. It’s so demeaning. ANYONE can have a great idea. Stop being so surprised.

I didn't realize Toad was Minnesotan

Terrific new recording for the season! Deeply grateful to be on it with "Behind the Clouds" - gorgeous. ✨ #somechoircd

If you're after a Christmas CD with a difference, I'd really recommend "The Dawn of Grace" by Somerville College Choir, conducted by the brilliant Will Dawes. All music by female composers, most in world premiere recordings, including this gem by Abbie Betinis. youtube.com/watch?v=s7_aPN…
