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

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

The text draws from (and paraphrases) several sources: contemporary media, Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossus,” the Bible’s Matthew 25:31-40, currency, and others. The changing meters of “Border” fill the work with an up-tempo, rhythmic energy that propels it forward. Campbell’s piece hardly relents, even as the pace slows this work presses forward with a colorful and often modal harmonic language. “Border” is a call for justice, empathy and compassion, a summons to our collective conscience.  less

We are passionate about polyphony! We love to sing music from regions around the world which have a strong tradition of singing in harmony. Music from Eastern Europe, Georgia, Africa and Jamaica etc finds its way into our repertoire. We also love to sing some beautiful classical works and Mozart, Bortniansky and Bach is much loved by the Singers. Most of our music is unaccompanied, except when our very talented instrumentalists (guitar, harp, cello, ukes, bodhran...) bring their instruments.  less
