We last performed this piece in October 2020 at a concert that took place between two national lockdowns, when it felt especially poignant. We hope you enjoy it. — Accompanied by Sam Hanson on piano This recording is from Christchurch Priory in 2019.

Der eine red das, der andere red dies, das macht mir gar oft die Laune mies. Die Alti und Soprane, die schweigen allzu sehr, die Bässe und Tenöre aber noch viel mehr! Kein Chor auf Erden kann schweigen so lang, das macht mir gar oft das Herze bang.« Voice: Concert Choir of the Berlin Girls Choir (Virtual Choir - individually sung and recorded without conducting): »My Choir has gone on forced vacation, I know exactly why I am so sad. One says this, the other says that, it often puts me in a bad mood. The alti and sopranos are all too silent, but the basses and tenors are even more so! No Choir on earth can remain silent for so long, that often frightens my heart.«  less

In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus, joining the Choir in recording 4 of his pieces. This performance of Gjeilo's "Sanctus" is from that session. The other pieces were "Luminous Night of the Soul", & "Across The Vast, Eternal Sky", accompanied by the composer at the piano and joined by the Kairos Quartet -- the resident faculty string quartet at CWU. The final piece, "Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages", was recorded both in an unaccompanied rendition (how it is written and published) and in a version with Mr. Gjeilo improvising an accompaniment to the Choir. This was Ola's second time on CWU's campus. His first visit was in the spring of 2011 and yielded 5 videos, a wide-ranging interview with the composer and other bonus material. It resulted in a DVD entitled "In the Moment", available for purchase at http://goo.gl/Xld0o) ...    less

Hush! beautiful is the Mother! Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son Softly into the manger, Softly for a moment come! Look and see how charming the baby, Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy! Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less
