Scott Ferguson, Conductor. March 2012. ---English Poetic Translation: In the midst of troubles and of great calamities, When facing the mountains of life and all of life's burdens, We ask, we seek, we come to understand That You, oh Lord, that You are the true source of Life. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In this great whirl of pain and of suffering, We discover at last that You, oh Lord, You are the Truth and You are the Light, The Source of all life. Te Deum laudamus. (We praise You, oh Lord) Praise and glory to you, oh Lord, Forever and ever. Blessings for You, oh Lord; Truly, You deserve it. We praise You, oh God. For the immense universe created by Your hand, For the evening breeze and the morning dew, For the infinite love that You placed in our hearts, We praise You, oh Lord. Te Deum laudamus. You created in love all that exists: All that we cannot see, All that we do not see,...    less

You have beds to sell, I have beddings to buy. Neighbors are family, Good riddles make good friends. The knife may be sharp, it never scrapes its handle. Those who always share never die of hunger. Long lives Diplomacy! Long lives Fraternity! - - - Haitian Creole text: Men ale - Men vini, sa kenbe lamitye. Ou gen kabann pou vann, Mwen gen dra pou achte. Vwazinay se fanmi, Bon kont fè bon zanmi.

It was Mr. Bonnie Fonseka, a distinguished Old Boy, who's vision soon came to be a Benedictine tradition, by forming a musical Club. This prompted the birth of the first College Choir. The Choir acquired a reputation for top class singing and in addition often invited to perform at important national events such as to perform with other schools when princess Elizabeth visited Ceylon in 1952. Since Mr. Bonnie Fonseka’s retirement there were many dedicated young musicians who undertook the responsibility and uphill task of training the Choir. Some of them were Mr. Robert Joseph, Mr. Francis De Almeida, Mr. Nicholas Johnpulle, Rev Bro. Augustine and Mr. Ravein George.

The Choir of recent times is being Directed by a student of Ravien George and current...    less
