(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) The soprano joins the choir for the twice-repeated middle section of the piece. The music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) The tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “The Song of Songs” for male voice and band. That piece is dedicated to my wife, Ruth, hence the connection. If that were not enough, our daughter is named Naomi! The Song of Ruth closes with a recapitulation of the music from the opening, but with new words assigned to it, and with the soprano soloist providing a descant for it. (“May the Lord cause ill fate to befall me, and more, if anything but death separates me and you.”) Appropriat...    Javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

traditional French Carol Arr: Barlow Bradford

Why would anyone bother to join a choir? Why would somebody ever want to do that? Most of us will remember some experience singing at school- be it good or bad- the national anthem, some song for a concert or a play with a song, a teacher strumming a ...

L'Orient hi deixà la seva sang de roses, la mitja lluna càlida del seu minvant etern i, enllà d'un gran silenci de persianes closes, un riu profund que corre per una nit d'hivern. Als seus vells carrerons, plens de fervor, arriba jo no sé de quins segles un gris d'amor i encens; el so de les campanes hi té una ànima viva i el seu batec és lliure com el del cor dels nens. Allí, més bells encara que els parcs en primavera, els camps humils i alegres s'obren al capaltard; en el seu gran repòs l'ànima es fa l...    Javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
