OK, so this is shameless self-promotion, and if you don't like choral music or children's choirs, don't click these links.
I'm a hobbyist composer, and the Virginia Children's Chorus has performed five of my songs over the years. One of them is on YouTube intact; another one is partially there. The first link is to a full performance of one of my songs, a setting of a Thomas Hardy poem called "Summer Schemes." The poem is about the unpredictability of life. If you click on the "more" button the text is there to read. I dedicated it to a friend of mine that was supposed to play in a golf tournament with me in June one year but died very suddenly after rupturing an aneurysm in his head in late February. (Sorry for the long backstory.) Also, the kids had not really polished the song, as this was a practice performance, and it was filmed on a crappy iPhone. But you'll get the idea.

I don't know who recorded this next one, or why they waited until about a minute into the song before they pressed "record." Maybe they thought the song would stink but then after hearing the first part decided to record it? Maybe they thought they were recording and then discovered they weren't? I don't know. But the sound and recording quality of what they managed to record is better than the first link. This is also a setting I wrote for a Hardy poem, this one a much more lighthearted poem called "Any Little Old Song."

I wish I had had the foresight to record the others and post them on YouTube, but I didn't.
Anyway, like I said, all this is nothing more than shameless self-promotion, so feel free to ignore the whole thing.
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
