" - Orlando Gibbons (1583 - 1625) Program notes: A famous text also famously used by Gibbons himself for his own Madrigal, Hailstork here pays homage to the work's 16th-century roots. An early composition (written while in college) from the proflic composer, Hailstork combined his own language with his love for choral literature to create a piece reminiscent of the Renaissance with a modern flair. The harmonic language harkens back to a hexachordal modality of the 16th century, uses an unaccompanied SATB Choir, and employs varied moments of imitative polyphony and homophony.

Ma sedendo e mirando, interminati Spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani Silenzi, e profondissima quiete Io nel pensier mi fingo; ove per poco Il cor non si spaura. E come il vento Odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello Infinito silenzio a questa voce Vo comparando: e mi sovvien l’eterno, E le morte stagioni, e la presente E viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa Immensità s’annega il pensier mio: E il naufragar m’è dolce in questo mare.  less

I love you, I love you, I love so immensely, Mother, mother, sweet mother. For your love and your kindness, I will sing your praises all of my life.

Abendlied/Lullaby von/by Björn Mummert sung by Skt.Michaelischor Schleswig, Lyric sense: Good night, another day is ending, asking for it's sense, haste hinders the view on the world of god. But at night, time has no power, so rest in the palm of gods hand. God night. God night, Let go all your doing, during sleep everything may rest. So devote yourself and OUR time will stand still. But time of god is named eternity, so lay down in the palm of gods hand, god night.
