Moses Hogan (1957-2003) Spiritual Moses Hogan was an internationally renowned pianist, composer and arranger of choral music best known for his arrangements of spirituals. He studied with a full scholarship at Oberlin Conservatory of Music before continuing with his graduate studies at Julliard School of Music. He won several piano competitions during his performance years and published many CD's as well as songbooks. 'Hold On!' is an example of his 'soloist vs choir' style of spiritual arrangements. there is a solo throughout that sings the primary lyrics and message of the song while the rest of the choir provides a lively and energetic - often rhythmic - accompaniment. He uses the choir as a single instrum...    less

Esecuzione dello Stabat Mater Gregoriano a cura dell'Ensemble Vocale "Exsurge Domine". Stabat Mater dolorósa iuxta crucem lacrimósa, dum pendébat Fílius. Cuius ánimam geméntem, contristátam et doléntem pertransívit gládius. O quam tristis et afflícta fuit illa benedícta Mater Unigéniti! Quae moerébat et dolébat, pia Mater dum vidébat nati poenas ínclyti. Quis est homo, qui non fleret, Matrem Christi si vidéret in tanto supplício? Quis non posset contristári, piam Matrem contemplári doléntem cum Filio? Pro peccátis suae gentis vidit Jesum in torméntis et flagéllis subditum. Vidit suum dulcem natum moriéntem desolátum, dum emísit spíritum. Eia, mater, fons amóris, me sentíre vim dolóris fac, ut tecum lúgeam. Fac, ut árdeat cor meum in amándo Christum Deum, ut sibi compláceam. Sancta Mater, istud agas, crucifíxi fige plagas cordi meo válide. Tui...    less
