Athenry was a only a short drive away from where I had moved to in County Galway, and Katharine had no idea I had just moved to Ireland! So the next thing I knew I was having lunch at Katharine&#8217;s house, discussing a commissioned work for the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this occassion I wrote a piece called &#8216;When Everything Breathes&#8217;, for string orchestra and choir. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that I may have written something a bit on the difficult side for these young students, but they did an amazing job with it, along with the help of the amazing Katharine conducting. I have just been sent this lovely video which I&#8217;m happy to share with you all, along with the choir lyrics below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dBUDqT3t1hk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Everything that breathes<br>Has a wish for perfect air<br>And the air just wants to be appreciated<br>It goes both ways<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Everything does breathe<br>And have a dream of perfect air<br>Dreams will take us where we long to be<br>And let us stay there<br>Breathing<br>Breathing<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first moved to Ireland at the end of August, 2016, and I was amazed when a week or two later I received an email from a woman named Katharine<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/?p=810\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
