The SATB version of O Pulse of My Heart received its premiere performance by Coro de Cámara, the chamber chorus of Los Alamos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, Karen Marrolli, conductor, Viera Moore, alto soloist, Karla Contoupes, violin, Kelvin McNeal, pianist as part of the program “Visions of New Life,” on November 5 and 6, 2011.
The text was written by the composer as an homage to traditional Irish love ballads. The soloist for this piece sings the English text and should have a light and lilting vocal quality, and the style of violin playing should have the feel of traditional Irish or Scottish music. The chorus sings the Gaelic text, for which a pronunciation guide is provided. Duration: 5:30.
