Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attained his noon.
Stay, stay, until the hasting day
Has run but to the evensong;
And, having prayed together,
we will go with you along.
We have short time to stay as you,
We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you or anything.
We die as your hours do, and dry away
Like to the summer’s rain;
Or as the pearls of morning’s dew,
Ne’er to be found again. ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

We're planning to perform and record a programme of modern sacred music in the fabulous space and acoustic that is Leeds' Victoria Quarter. We are appealing to as many people as possible to participate in the project by giving whatever they would like, in return for a reward or perk. It's quite a good way of pre-ordering the CD! please visit link: http://igg.me/at/stpeterssingers
"Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening, into the house and gate of heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence but one equal music; no fears nor hopes but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings but one equal eternity; in the habitations of thy Glory and Dominion, world without end. Amen."
John Donne (1572-1631)

Assistant director: Vsevolod Shvayba. Performed by Salutaris Chamber Choir (http://salutaris.by) directed by Olga Yanum. Solo: Yuliya Shedzko. The original Poem is written by Sara Teasdale and translated into Belarussian by Yuliya Shedzko. Sound: Viktor Kisten || Floating on the waves of Baltic Sea and miraculous music by one of our favorite composers, Ēriks Ešenvalds, we invite you to go back to childhood for a few minutes – only in sleep though.
We got an idea for this video while we were on tour in Latvia (composer's homeland), in a coastal city Liepāja. Only on the waves of our dreams can we return to the time of our childhood, only in sleep we can for a short time become little boys and girls again – they still live somewhere within us. Let's not forget about them!
Children of Salutaris' singers took part in this video – they are our future, as well as the future of our choir.
