The vocal octet Octarium, based in Kansas City, has gained a national reputation for performances suffused with what composer Morton Lauridsen called, “stunning artistry combined with an absolutely beautiful blending of voices.” Composer Stephen Hatfield raves, “Octarium’s ability to change the nuance of their tone and timbre without disrupting the flow of the music enables them to pack their performances with riches without ever over-reaching for their effects.” At each presentation, Octarium offers the polished choral sonority and embodiment of the philosophy, “Eight Singers, One Voice” for which the ensemble has become well-known and respected. The Riverfront Times writes that the “eight members of Octarium go beyond raising their voices together in song; their voices warp and weave together, coalescing as a single instrument of tremendous power and depth. Octarium wields this might gracefully, never overpowering, opting instead to revel in the pliancy of the human voice.”

Born in Munich in 1897, Ben-Haim had a very impressive career as a pianist, conductor and composer. He moved to Tel-Aviv in 1933, and soon became a leading figure in the musical life of Palestine and the State of Israel (from 1948). Ben-Haim regarded his work as part of a wide-spread effort to synthesize Eastern and Western traditions.

La rosa enflorese en el mez de May,
Mi alma s'escurese sufriendo del amor.
Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor,
Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor.
Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí,
Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir.
The roses bloom in the month of May,
But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love.
The nightingales sing and are sighing in love,
The passion will kill me, multiply my pain.
Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me,
Come faster, my soul, because I shall die.

In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus to join the Choir in recording 4 of his pieces. The other three were "Sanctus", "Luminous Night of the Soul", and "Vast Eternal Skies"
This performance of Gjeilo's "Ubi Caritas II" is from that session, which included a rendition of the piece sung in in its published (unaccompanied) version as well.
This was Mr. Gjeilo's second time on our campus, the first was in the spring of 2011, which resulted in 5 videos and a DVD (http://goo.gl/Xld0o)
As of 2013, the CWU Chamber Choir also has recorded videos of the music of Byrd, Monteverdi, Muehleisen, Singh, Victoria, and Rautavaara on YouTube.

Vidi una porta, e tre gradi di sotto
per gire ad essa, di color diversi,
e un portier ch' ancor non facea motto.
[I saw a portal, and three stairs beneath,
Diverse in colour, to go up to it,
And a gate-keeper, who yet spake no word]
Poi pinse l' uscio a la porta sacrata,
dicendo: "Intrate; ma facciovi accorti
che di fuor torna chi ' n dietro si guata"
[Then pushed the portals Of the sacred door,
Exclaiming: “Enter; but I give you warning
That forth returns whoever looks behind.”]
Io mi rivolsi attento al primo tuono,
e ' Te Deum laudamus' mi parea
udire in voce mista al dolce suono.
[At the first thunder-peal I turned attentive,
And _”Te Deum laudamus”_ seemed to hear
In voices mingled with sweet melody.] less

of God, to whom, as unto thee, was e’er
the Gate of Heaven unlocked a second time?”
Così quel lume; ond’ io m’ attesi a lui;
poscia rivolsi alla mia Donna il viso,
e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui;
Thus spoke that light; hence I thereto gave heed;
then to my Lady turning back my face,
I was on this side and on that amazed;
chè dentro agli occhi suoi ardeva un riso
tal, ch’ io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo
della mia gloria e del mio Paradiso.

that I with my thought I had touched the depths
