Musica is an un-auditioned, community choir. We sing everything from Schubert to Gospel. We love to challenge ourselves and try New things. We come together every week because we LOVE to make music together and we love the way singing makes us feel :)

New version of Silent Night with New music score and New text, but writeen by Franz Gruber. Original poem has 6 verses.

To promote excellence in community music making, the choral masterworks of both known and lesser known composers, the continuing musical and vocal development of its membership and to enhance access to choral music for all segments of the community.

From our 2010 Lessons and Carols Candlelight Service. We are joined by six extras (college students from ATU and OBU).

Po roce jsme si zazpívali během Noci kostelů v krásné kapli sv. Barbory u sv. Tomáše na Malé Straně. Byl to pro nás úžasný zážitek.

Live performance in December 2023 at Shekinah Retreat Centre, Waldheim, SK

The Odes of Solomon are believed to have been written around the year 100 A.D., and include strong parallels to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Scholars have debated whether the Odes should be considered Jewish, Christian or Gnostic, and whether they were first written in Greek, Hebrew or Syriac. Early Christian writings refer to and quote from them. A Syriac manuscript containing the text of most of the Odes was discovered in 1909 by the English scholar J. Rendel Harris, and other partial texts in various languages have also been found. There are 42 Odes. Some fragments are still missing from Odes I and III, and no part of Ode II has yet been found. For these choral settings, I selected text from four of the Odes of Solomon which I found particularly compelling. The anonymous translation I have used comes from The Gnostic Society Library.  less
