Treib, Herr, von uns ferndie unreinen Geister, Halt die Nachtwacht gern,sei selbst unser Schutzherr! Schirm beid Leib und Seel' Unter deine Flügel, send uns dein Engel! Laß uns einschlafenmit gu-ten Gedanen, fröhlich aufwachenund von dir nicht wanken; Laß uns mit Züchten Unser Tun und Dichten Zu deim Preis richten! 夜曲 夜晚來臨，該是我們休息之時； 上主無所不在，以祂的良善美意保佑著我們。 我們躺臥， 在祂不變的祝福之下， 平安永存。 主啊，使我們遠離不淨的靈魂 助我們守夜，做我們的守護者！ 庇蔭我們的軀體和靈魂， ...    less

During the 1990s the Chorale helped re-establish this historic church’s secondary role as a center for culture and community. ADC’s artistic success and benefit to the Cathedral community inspired additional collaborations with other Dallas cultural institutions. In 2001 The Cathedral Chorale became the Arts District Chorale, receiving its non-profit 501(c)(3) status in 2004. Arts District Chorale is now a signature all-volunteer ensemble of 60 gifted amateur and professional vocalists from all walks of life which annually presents four large-scale season events and ten to fifteen smaller events in collaboration with the world-class cultural venues of the downtown Dallas Arts District.

The evangelist tells the story, arias convey the inner feelings of us humans as we gaze upon the Golgotha scene and choruses and chorales reflect on our own place in the drama. 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. This is a mountaintop experience not to be missed.  less
