Johansen Choirs are truly honored to represent our community in various capacities as well as having the opportunity to tour throughout California, often giving students their first experience outside of Stanislaus County. We are excited that nearly 60 students will participate in the vocal music program at Johansen High School this year. Last year our choirs participated in multiple festivals, sang by invitation at many local events and toured San Diego. The department’s Viking Singers won a contest this summer and sang on stage with Foreigner at the County Fair. These talented students have been invited to participate in Gallo Center for the Arts first ever a cappella festival in April 2013.  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
