The ensemble has a Fascinating and diverse repertoire, most of which is original arrangements written by its members, some with humorous texts. The different programs also consist of traditional a-cappella arrangements. Among our different programs there are "Misa Criolla" with an authentic South American band; "Le Bouquet de Swing", rich harmonies and jumpy Rhythms, well known jazz standards and new arrangements to pop songs; "American Harmony", in which the Israel Chamber Orchestra joins the octet in an American themed program; and our new program, Sgt. Pepper and the Fabulous Four. The VOCAL Octet has collaborated with Israel’s top musicians, and has performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Israel Borochov & East-West Ensemble, composers Sasha Argov, Yoni Rechter and Menachem ...    less

Guillaume. - - - Sheet music: https://sydneyguillaume.com/product/gagot/ - - - (Spanish Translation) Desde que desperté esta mañana he pasado por altos y bajos, Corriendo en círculos como un perro loco y malo. Hablo, canto, duermo, me levanto; Rezo, grito, es una confusión tras otra. Una confusión aquí, una confusión allá, Una confusión arriba, una confusión abajo, Confusión en todos lados, una confusión tras otra. Mis pensamientos son confusos, Mis acciones son confusas, Mis palabras son confusas, Mi visión es confusa. Todo está enredado: Dolor y alegría, duda y fe, Aversión y esperanza, bien y mal. Mi cabeza da vueltas y vueltas, Todo está enredado. Qué confusión! Día a día, lucho una batalla; La contradanza vuelve a comenzar a diario. Canto, bailo, grito: “Hurra!” De repente y rápidamente vuelvo a estar en la confusión. En medio de e...    less

The piece was written for the 50th anniversary of the Habaneras Contest in Torrevieja, Spain. The musical writing has nothing of a traditional habanera. The constant habanera Rhythm is not present but must be felt as an internal Rhythm. What I have included is the alternation of minor and major modes so typical of habaneras.

This a-cappella 4-voice version uses three altos and one Bass, a cappella. It explores a couple of alternative modes for the theme: Octatonic and Dorian. Singing of folia this old tune repeats all day and even in the new Octatonic mode we can sing folia all the day long in this five time and we sing it in Octatonic mode madness all is madness while we're singing of la folia and in five time and Octatonic mode can't leave off la folia it will drive me round the bend soon and I'll shortly change to some other mode Sing it in the Dorian sing it in the Dorian oh I love the Dorian it makes me dream on  less

The words are my own and tell of children playing their games in the dusty streets (ie of Bethlehem) unaware That a miracle has happened and asking them to look up to the angels and join their singing. The performance here is by the Composer's Choir conducted by Daniel Shaw.
