On Some Moon

The Choir of Saint James' is made up of amateur and professional adult musicians from the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Under the direction of Organist and Choirmaster James Buonemani since January of 1995, it is the first American Choir to have sung in performance with the Choir of Westminster Abbey's choir-in-residence during the months of August 1999, 2006, and 2010.  Inviting the choir to return in the future, the Abbey Precentor, Deiniol Morgan, wrote "the quality of singing was exceptionally high and our worship was much enriched by your contribution." The Choir is honored to hold a standing invitation to return to the Abbey by James O'Donnell, the Abbey's current Organist and Master of the Choir.

As the core musical organization of Saint James' Church, the choir has played host to many of the world's finest choirs during their international tours, including The Sixteen, the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, the American Boychoir, the Gloriae Dei Cantores, the Choir of Westminster Abbey, the Choir of Canterbury Cathedral and the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford

The Choir of Saint James' performed music for the official Los Angeles Memorial to Princess Diana in 1997. In addition to weekly services and monthly evensongs, the Choir of Saint James' presents concerts featuring many of the great choral masterpieces with full orchestra. Past seasons have included the Requiems of Maurice Duruflé, Gabriel Fauré, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard, Giuseppe Verdi, the Lord Nelson Mass by Haydn, the Funeral Ikos and Song for Athene by John Tavener, the Cantata Misericordium by Benjamin Britten, the Lux Aeterna of Los Angeles composer Morten Lauridsen as well as the world premiere of O Beauty Ever Ancient Ever New by director James Buonemani, commissioned for the Centennial of Organists. Many of the choir's live performances can be heard by visiting SaintJamesLA.org and clicking on "Listen to the Music" under the Great Music tab.

James Buonemani - Missa Miamiensis - IV - Agnus Dei

I discovered the magical nostalgia factory that is vaporwave about two years ago. This piece, a transcription and reinterpretation of "リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー" (shouts out to Diana Ross), is inspired by that discovery.

I'd like to give a huge thanks to the UNT Symphony Orchestra and to its director David Itkin for taking the time to read the piece. Also, thanks a ton to the conductor, Daniel Wiley, who did a fantastic job interpreting the work!
