I had the pleasure of having Jake conduct my choir a few years back with this song and just being in the middle of it. First time ive ever cried during a song

I come back to this often... never got the chance to fully sing this with my high school choir senior year because of the Covid shutdown in 2020. Easily the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard and I hope one day I will be able to sing it!

Dude! Saw you today at the ACDA read-through of "ner".  THIS PIECE IS A MASTERPIECE, congratulations.

This song leaves me breathless every time. I'm not even singing it or anything; I just happened to stumble across it last week. Most beautiful piece I've ever heard. <3

Tenors blast off. We're set to perform this piece this weekend: https://islandvoiceschamberchoir.bc.ca/concerts - This one should be a fan fav

I love the background to this song, very emotional piece for many people.

Cameron Choir is singing rhis beautiful song :):):):):)

I heard Voces8 perform this last month. It was a beautiful concert and this song was the high point. At the end the audience was completely silent for an extended period, except for a few sniffles. Some were mine. Pieces like this are why we go to live performances--those moments of shared emotion. In this period of isolation memories of those experiences, and especially the message of this piece, feels even more potent. I guess what I want to say is just thank you.

About the work:

When Germán Aguilar passed away unexpectedly in the summer of 2014, it was a huge loss to our world. Germán had a warm, kind personality and a love for life, teaching, and the people around him - especially his fiancé Jon Talberg. After Germán's death, Jon was cleaning out Germán's wallet and found the only card inside was mine. I had given it to Germán when we met in January of 2014. Jon soon contacted me and asked if I would write a piece of music in memory of Germán - I was honored to do so.

I hope this music captures an element of Germán's life as an amazing man and lover of music. Also, I hope the music will serve as a form of healing to those who experience it and who continue to suffer from this immense loss. Todd Boss, the amazing poet who wrote an original text for this work, beautifully captured the message we want to leave with you: "And so I go on, always, wherever you are, my lovely one."

The work is scored for double choir.

Nyon Nyon is an exploration of the effects that one can produce with the human voice. I created original words to achieve varieties of colors and mixed and matched them within the ensemble to produce a diverse sonic landscape. Incorporating effects similar to a flanger, wah-wah pedal, drum and bass, and synthesizers turns the choir into a full-fledged vocal orchestra.
