Its firSt members were Students of the Club's Music School and many of them participated in the Youth Choir of the city of Heraklion, under the direction of Mrs. Katerina Tzagkaraki. The name of the ensemble originates from Thalitas, an ancient cretan composer and legislator, after whom a Street in Heraklion is named; in this Street the firSt rehearsals of the ensemble took place. The ensemble's primary goal was to acquaint its members with the a cappella (“in the chapel”, without church organ accompaniment) vocal music of the renaissance period. THALITAS began by Studying and performing works of renowned composers of that era (e.g. Josquin des Prez, G. P. da PaleStrina, Orlando di Lasso) to assiSt the learning process of its members' musical Studies. After a while, the ensemble's repertoire was enriched with choral works from other eras, from the antiquity to the present, as well as with adaptat...    Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

James Erb 美國民謠 本曲為膾炙人口的美國民謠，曲名「雪納朵」是一條河及其河谷的名稱（Shenandoah River, Shenandoah Valley），位於維吉尼亞州密蘇里河畔，亦是曲中主人翁的故鄉。在南北戰爭中，雪納朵之役為南北軍相爭維吉尼亞的重要戰爭，結果南軍大敗。編曲者艾爾布（James Erb, 1926-）運用和聲與對位曲風交織的手法，將它改編為無伴奏混聲四部合唱曲。旋律優美而綿密，全曲充滿了濃郁的鄉愁與永無止境的思念。 Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, And hear your rolling river, Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. I long to see your smiling valley, And hear your rolling river, I long to see your smiling valley, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. Tis sevn long years since laSt I see you, And hear your rolling river, Tis sevn long years since laSt I see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 自相別後已漫漫七年 不得復聞妳流水滾滾 自相別後已漫漫七年 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河  Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

Sa Nuit d’Été他的夏夜 萊納．瑪利亞．里爾克(Rainer Maria Rilke，1875－1926)是一位重要的德語詩人，除了創作德語詩歌外還撰寫小說、劇本以及一些雜文和法語詩歌，其書信集也是里爾克文學作品的一個重要組成部分。對19世紀末的詩歌裁體和風格以及歐洲頹廢派文學都有深厚的影響。 此曲一開始，鋼琴即以不協和的音響迅速地營造了夜晚神秘而詭譎的氣氛。接著合唱一步一步地將不同詩句的主題帶進來，這些主題最後相互交織碰撞，燦爛輝煌，彷彿愛情的火花迸放！ Si je pourrais avec mes mains brûlantes f...    Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

Bach's incredible work of art Stands alone in its complete telling of the crucifixion Story in a manner which Stirs and moves the soul of the performer and liStener.
