The group’s repertory is quite wide and eclectic and ranges from sacred and secular early music to contemporary works. Besides singing some of the most important Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, by composers such as Victoria, Palestrina, Byrd, Monteverdi, Purcell, Handel and Bach, the group has also premiered several contemporary pieces and made first modern auditions of many Portuguese Renaissance and Baroque works. Christopher Bochmann, Ivan Moody, Bob Chilcott, Luis Tinoco, Eurico Carrapatoso and Vasco Mendonça are some of the composers who dedicated works to Grupo Vocal Olisipo.
Grupo Vocal Olisipo attended several masterclasses led by some of the world leading vocal ensembles, such as The King's Singers and the Hilliard Ensemble and was coached in the performance of Baroque music by Jill Feldman.
In 1995, the group won an honorary mention in the Portuguese Musical Youth Contest and was a finalist ... less

Tanto de meu estado me acho incerto,
Que em vivo ardor tremendo estou de frio;
Sem causa, juntamente choro e rio,
O mundo todo abarco e nada aperto.
É tudo quanto sinto um desconcerto;
Da alma um fogo me sai, da vista um rio;
Agora espero, agora desconfio,
Agora desvario, agora acerto.
Estando em terra, chego ao Céu voando,
Nua hora acho mil anos, e é de jeito
Que em mil anos nao posso achar ua hora.
Se me pergunta alguém porque assi ando,
Respondo que nao sei; porém suspeito
Que so porque vos vi, minha Senhora.

This a-cappella 4-voice version uses three altos and one bass, a cappella. It explores a couple of alternative modes for the theme: Octatonic and Dorian.
Singing of folia this old tune repeats all day
and even in the new Octatonic mode
we can sing folia all the day long in this five time
and we sing it in Octatonic mode
madness all is madness while we're singing of la folia
and in five time and Octatonic mode
can't leave off la folia it will drive me round the bend soon
and I'll shortly change to some other mode
Sing it in the Dorian sing it in the Dorian
oh I love the Dorian it makes me dream on less

German: “Liebe erfüllt mich, weil mein Gott die Stimme meines Flehens erhört hat. Kehre zurück, meine Seele, in deine Ruh: denn mein Gott hat dir wohlgethan. Liebe erfüllt mich. O Freude, O Wonne, Die Sonne! O Freude, das ich am Leben bin. Liebe erfüllt mich.”
English translation: “I am filled with love, for my God has heard the voice of my supplication. Return, my soul, to your rest: for my God has made you well. I am filled with love. O Joy, O Bliss, the Sun! O Joy that I am alive. I am filled with love.”

A Psalm Beyond the Silences
If they could be here now,
The six million murdered then,
They would see survivors
Praying in their memory...
A psalm beyond the silence.
If they could be here now,
Those too, too soon taken,
They would share this proud prayer
Of the children of truth...
A psalm beyond the silence.
