More about Kathryn Latour:
I studied piano beginning at age 8 and my best skill is sight reading. I have had vocal instruction and have sung in church, university, and performance choirs since age 12. I received conducting training and subsequently led youth choirs, a semi professional adult choir, and a university choir. Because of the need for certain suitable music, I have had to arrange music for my choirs and have learned how to compose as a result. I still do a great deal of accompanying (on piano and organ) and leading choirs.

There are not many choir songs for morhers. I set the poem by Helen Steiner Rice to my own composition and have dedicated this to my own angel mother, Jedda Monson.









Lyrics: A mother’s love is something that no one can explain; <br/>It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain; <br/>It is endless and unselfish and enduring, come what may, <br/>For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. <br/> <br/>It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, <br/>And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking. <br/>It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, <br/>And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems. <br/> <br/>It is far beyond defining; it defies all explanation. <br/>And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation. <br/>A many splendored miracle man cannot understand, <br/>And another wondrous evidence of God’s [great] guiding hand. <br/>
