This version is from the Noteworthy Christmas CD, and is performed by the Chor Leoni Mens Choir. The illustration is Peter Paul Rubens' "Adoration of the Magi". The Latin lyrics and English translation follow: Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus Ex Maria virgine, gaudete! Rejoice, rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary — rejoice! Tempus adest gratiæ Hoc quod optabamus, Carmina lætitiæ Devote reddamus. The time of grace has come— This that we have desired, Verses of joy Let us devoutly return.

Ergo nostra contio Psallat iam in lustro; Benedicat Domino: Sal...    less

The group was set up to perform exciting vocal material at a variety of events, and to give Men and woMen who love singing, the platform to get involved in a fun and sociable musical experience. The Voice of The Town family has now grown and not only do we have our choirs in Newcastle and Birmingham, but we also have choirs in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

NOON I look into the sky, Where cirrus clouds collide, Laze in the summer light, While the breeze talks to me. EVENING A time for rose-red thought, Long shadows casting, Memories fleeting, Fading and fraught. DUSK Dusk is for grieving, And for private tears. Perhaps for believing Despite what we fear. © S N Solomons June 16th 2009  less
