Lyrics by the Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel. Ensemble Vikra - conductor: Petra Grassi - piano: Martina Salateo Live recording 12/9/2016 International Choral Festival "Voci d'Europa" Basilica di San Gavino - Porto Torres (SS) "If only I were able, I would sing the poplar rustling with silvery voice, the sun of the Kurst in a cool September, the buckwheat in the white sinkhole. If only I were able, I would sing one, single girl; I love her so much that I would change her for anything in the world, anything."  less

Philomela is a wonderful experience that will linger in your mind even after the music has died down. Philomela has become one of the most highly regarded choirs in Finland. Marjukka Riihimäki has acted as the choir´s conductor since it was established in 1984. Philomela is one of the most original choirs in Finland. It is a group of 40 unprejudiced, music-loving women who together form a graceful, polyphonic musical instrument. The choir performances are intensive and surprising experiences which combine theatrical elements to music. Philomela’s rehearsals are held in Helsinki but the choir gives several concerts per year all over Finland as well as abroad. Musical profile of Philomela is composed of contemporary Scandinavian choir music with flavours of world music, especially Finnish folk music.  less

R.Brisotto 2/9/2018 Pieve di Santa Maria Oltrebut, Tolmezzo (Ud). "Love is always patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. (Where charity and love are, God is there) Nor is she conceited and she is never rude; she never thinks just of hersel or ever get annoyed. She never is resentful; is never glad with sin, but always glad to side with truth, whene'er the truth should win. (Christ's love has gathered us into one) She bears up under everything, believes the best in all, there is no limit to her hope, and she will never fall. (Where charity and love are, God is there)"  less
