I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air . . . Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or ever eagle flew — And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. www.latvianvoices.lv  less

We have a varied repertoire of well-known pop and jazz songs, as well as the occasional folk song. A Mixed Choir or various age groups, we have regular concerts in the Berlin region, but also further afield, often abroad. The attached picture is from our 2014 concert at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall. We are keen to hear from anyone who would like to sing with us, but also from other Choirs interested in clubbing together with us for a concert or two.  less

English translation by Ivan Peček: SAILING ANEW The sky is getting brighter. The Sun is born. A ship is sailing out of the port; One that had been long tied to the dock, All damaged, with wounds on her sides. The sea, like her mother, pulls her to its lap. It sways her and it whispers to her: Nothing happened. contact: www.facebook.com/m.marulic.Choir m.marulic_Choir@yahoo.com  less

English translation by Ivan Peček: TOMORROW THEY WILL CARRY YOU Tomorrow the six of them will carry you in their hands, The mother will lament, the heart will toll, Oh my father, all your trials and hardships have come to an end, The gravestone will cover your body. You understood the soul of the fig and carob, You built the dams like you built your and our lives, Tomorrow they will carry you away to where no one returns from, On the head of the table there will be one empty chair left. Everything you touched turned into gold, May the earth forever be light upon you, The gravestone has fallen upon you, now it's our turn To spend our lives like a wage that is earned and spent. The body will endure, the stone will persist, And so will you remain in our heArts, though you're gone. contact: www.facebook.com/m.marulic.Choir m.marulic_Choir@yahoo.com  less
