POSITIVE MUSIC: As a memorial to their son killed in a 1986 traffic accident, Edward and Helen Shanbrom of Santa Ana chose three poems by a Bengali poet as the basis for a new choral work, “Songs of Eternity,” to be premiered Sunday by the Pacific Chorale (F1). . . . Says conductor John Alexander: “We all fell in love with it. It looks at our fear of death, but it overcomes that fear by approaching life as a positive song, and death cannot take that away from us.”
