The piece builds to climax at "For Thine is the Power and Glory forever!" and ends reflectively, savoring the "Amen". THE COMPOSER: Composer Vijay Singh is Professor in the music department at Central Washington University. This video is from a concert presented on the CWU Campus.in May, 2014 entitled: “The CWU Choirs and Friends sing songs of Singh” In that concert, 28 of Singh’s pieces were performed by 6 choirs, including two invited guest high school choirs. Known for compositions such as John...    less

In mid-April, 2011, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus to join the choir in recording 3 of his pieces, (the teaser/trailer URL is found below) This performance of Gjeilo's "Ubi Caritas" is from that session, following a rendition in which the composer joined the choir and improvised an accompaniment (URL below). In this video the choir sings the piece in its published (unaccompanied) version. One behind-the-scenes comment: On the last page of the piece, when the first melodic material occurs again - Ola, who was sitting in the hall, asked half the choir to hum while the other half sang to create a more ethereal effect. The CWU Chamber Choir also has recorded videos of the music of Monteverdi, Muehleisen, Singh, Victoria, and Rautavaara on YouTube Gjeilo "In the Moment" teaser/trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrvEgQl57b0 "Ubi Caritas" (with the composer ...    less

The Choir is the oldest College Choir in Ghana and arguably in West Africa; established in 1964. The Choir is inspired by the mission of singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs as an act of worship to the glory of God and to minister to the souls of men. Over the years, the Choir is been noted for very inspiring and sensational concerts and oratorios that seek to fulfill the mission above. Very recent of such ministrations include; Israel in Egypt (2008 and 2010), Indulci Jubilo(2015), Handel's Chandos Anthems (2016), Singspiration (2017),and Laudate Deo (2018). The Choir has through these platforms touched the lives of many deprived entities through her social welfare responsibilities. We can't say it all and ignore the wonderful personalities the Choir has nurtured over the years. These persons are making considerable strides in the Choral enclave in Ghana and the World at lar...    less

God of Providence, You who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. You created all things with an eternal love, For our greater good You gave them to us; The bird, our brother, does not sow nor harvest; Though for him to be fed, oh Lord, You provide. A simple lily, a tiny flower, Surpasses the splendor of the great King Solomon. God of Providence, You who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. Why must we worry of the things to come? Why so many concerns for our future? God of Providence, Master of the Universe, You give to your children more than is needed. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In our moments of joy and even in our pains, We implore You, oh Lord, God of Providence, You offer us always Your divine presence. Let us search joyfully for the Kingdom of God, For Love and Justice, for Good, for the Peace of the Lor...    less
