Lord, now lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace
according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before
the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten
the Gentiles
and to be the glory of
thy people Israel.
Glory be to the
Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in
the beginning
Is now and ever
shall be
World without end

The ensemble has a fascinating and diverse repertoire, most of which is original arrangements written by its members, some with humorous texts. The different programs also consist of traditional a-cappella arrangements. Among our different programs there are "Misa Criolla" with an authentic South American band; "Le Bouquet de Swing", rich harmonies and jumpy rhythms, well known jazz standards and new arrangements to pop songs; "American Harmony", in which the Israel Chamber Orchestra joins the octet in an American themed program; and our new program, Sgt.
