"O thou my blood, O overflowing Grace 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. for such a smile was glowing in her eyes, that I with my thought I had touched the depths both of my glory and of my Paradise  less

No Bow Ties. No Blazers. No Auditions. Just men and song. The mighty Male Voice classics from the valleys of the Land of the Dragon. Insane Georgian/Bulgarian repertoire to make the very stones weep Vintage cheese from the Barbershop tradition (tempered with a small pinch of salt) Also anthems concerning the wonders of facial hair, garden sheds, reversing round corners, etc.... Not so much a new idea as a distillation of every great 'man-singing' concept' that has ever graced this earth. Rolled into one. In Bristol. By the people who created 'Gurt Lush Choir'. It will be BIG & fun. Virile & beautiful. Devilishly charming... ...You know you want to....  less

Written and composed in 1985 for the Shin-yu Kai Chorus, the song captures the moment when one finds oneself straddling both uncertainty and optimism while thinking about the future. Takemitsu’s signature sound, featuring rich harmonies colouring melodious refrains, shines through in this conversational and thoughtful piece.

Through me is the way among the lost people. Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore: fecemi la divina potestate, la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore; Justice moved my exalted maker Divine power, supreme wisdom and the first love made me dinanzi a me non fuor cose create se non etterne, e io etterno duro. Before me were no created beings Only things eternal and I continue for ever Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch' intrate. Abandon all hope you who enter here.  less
