Following the move in 1983 into the West End of Glasgow the Choir was renamed Glasgow Lyric Choir. ​ Under its present conductor, Julian Evans, the Choir sings a wide repertoire of choral music from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods and traditional Scots and Gaelic songs. We are a mixed voice Choir numbering around 30 at present. ​ We gave two concerts in Glasgow during the 2017-2018 season: in December we presented a Christmas programme and in June we gave a concert featuring a selection of music from the movies. However, in April we also gave two concerts in Italy, the first in Barga (including a Vivaldi Credo and Scottish songs) and the second in Milan where we joined forces with Canti Corum to sing Dvorak’s Mass in D. ​ Choir members enjoy many social as well as musical events together. We regularly run events for family and friends such as our annual Associates' Night, quizzes and Burns' Suppers. ​ In 2009 the Choir was cho...    less

It is a wonderful way to introduce young musicians to the classical era of choral composition. Uriel: and the people of God sang praise with voice and heavenly song to end the fourth day. They proclaimed God’s power saying: Choir: The heavens are telling the glory of God. The sky proclaims the work of God’s almighty hands. Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael: God’s work is proclaimed from day to day, from night that is gone to following night. In every land resounds the word, all the world can hear it, always understood. -GNAAS KNUST Choir @HARMONIOUS CHORALE GHANA @VocalEssence Chorale @VOCES8 @VocalEssence @Lordina The Soprano @ONE VOICE Choir GHANA @The Symphonials - Ghana @Bernard The Magician @Haydn2032 @Classical Tunes @Classical Music Only @Top Classical Music - Music History Channel @Classical Music @Classical Music/ /Reference Recording @CLASSIC...    less

The words are set to the melody of the Scottish Minstrel "Common' Frae The Toun". (This is a variant of the tune to which Auld Lang Syne is usually sung—the melodic shape is almost identical, the difference lying in the tempo and rhythm.) It is performed here by the dwsChorale, with a cheeky insertion of a hornpipe! Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the rye Gin a body kiss a body Need a body cry? Ilka lassie has her laddie Nane, they say, hae I Yet a' the lads they smile at me When comin' thro' the rye. Gin a body meet a body Comin' frae the toun Gin a body greet a body Need a body froun?

The text for the piece was written by Bartholomew Begley, a Dublin-based philosophy lecturer who works on philosophical translations of early modern Latin texts. The text 'Deus Ex Machina' tells the story of a suddenly and unexpectedly found God 'out of a machine.' The setting of the Choir was very experimental – the aim was to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by the spatial, immersive sound. The Choir sections were spread horizontally and vertically; therefore, the entire space around the listener was arranged. The visuals indicate the positions of the Choir by points of light, whose brightness and movement were devised based on the sound energy of each of the choral sections.  less
