My name is Chris Fraley. I’m a composer from Kona, Hawaii (previously from the less sunny Seattle area). I need your help! I am looking for choirs to partner with—either as a composer-in-residence, to commission new pieces, or simply to perform music I’ve already written. Please check out my website www.FraleyMusic.com, call my cell 425-829-9654, or email me at [email protected] to discuss possibilities.

Thank you!

Break, Break, Break

Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stone, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman’s boy, That he shouts with his sisters at play! O well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanish’d hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me.

— Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
