Background. In the 1970s I visited Poland twice and fell in love with Polish choral music -- and Lulajże Jezuniu became one of my favourite Christmas carols in any language.
While flying from Ottawa to Vancouver in December 2017, I felt inspired and arranged most of this piece While at 30,000 feet! I must have been quite a sight conducting away in my aisle seat, with my head phones plugged into my computer.
I have dedicated Lulajże Jezuniu to the late Adam and Helena Kmiotek, who showed me such generosity of spirit as my hosts in Szczecin during my second Polish trip.
NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the TTBB score can contact me at rain... less

Ancor che col partire
io mi senta morire,
partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento:
tant'e il piacer ch'io sento
de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno:
et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno
partir da voi vorrei:
tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.
Although when I leave you
it is as if I were dying,
I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment,
I am so very happy
when life comes back to me when I return:
and so I wish I could leave you
many thousand times a day
because my heart leaps with joy when I return.

Imagine a Book Club for Choral singers! Each session every two or three weeks, we will look at a couple of new songs, chosen by differend members of the group, from the whole history of music, form Monvererdi to Madness. We have two experienced conductor/singers who will be happy to lead any session, but all singers will be encouraged to lead their own song choices if they wish.
The aim, in the first intance, is to have fun exploring as much choral repertoire as possible, in a fun and collaborative enviroment. We do not intend to book up concerts straight away - once we've had a few meetings and looked at enough repertoire then we'll think about performances. Let's Work to get the music right first!

The choir, which started its Work with the conductor Gökhan Kalender, is a women's choir founded with the belief in the polyphonic talisman of the female voice and its musical universe. It set out to spread the interaction between different languages and cultures by expressing modern Turkish and world melodies with polyphonic music, and to perform on national and international platforms.
