I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. *** About the conductor & composer: www.dominickdiorio.com About the Jacobs School of Music Choral Conducting Department: music.indiana.edu/choral *** NOTUS: IU Contemporary Vocal Ensemble Dominick DiOrio, conductor Steven Berlanga, associate conductor Livia Gho, assistant conductor SOPRANO Tabitha Burchett Nai-Chia Chen Carolyn Craig Kellie Motter Martha Sliva Maya Vansuch ALTO Gabrielle Gaudreault Livia Gho Courtney Jameson Michael Linert Sheh Feng Ng Patricia Wallinga TENOR Nicolas Chuaqui Michael Gebhart Paul Mortilla Mark Phillips Nicholas Quardokus Christopher Sokolowski BARITONE/BASS Steven Berlanga David Harrison Erik Krohg James Maverick Peter Pendowski Matthew Recio Corey Rubin
