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

"Toccata" is often played in the full extent as "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." This piece is one of the most famous works in organ repertoire. The piece is recognizable to most and has been featured in many films, including: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), The Black Cat (1934), Disney's Fantasia (1940), Sunset Boulevard (1950), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), The Phantom of the Opera (1962), and The Great Race (1965). #Toccata #Bach #HalloweenOrganMusic  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

His initial claim was also to promote new soloists and serve as a tool for new and established composers specially from the Rias Baixas area. The choir already has more than sixty performances, both self-managed and scheduled in various cycles or festivals such as Outono Lírico, Vigo Sinfónico, Barcia de Mera Religious Music Series, Nas Ondas, Portico Sonoro, Explurart, Cooltural Cambados and II Festival Groba. In these performances they have interpreted several fundamental works of the choral repertoire in all kind of stages of the four Galician provinces, both a capella and with instrumental accompaniment. Samples of these are Petite Messe Solennelle by G. Rossini (version for two pianos), the Requiem in C minor by L. Cherubini, Music for the funeral of Queen Mary by H. Purcell, Mass in D major by A.
