The choir was formed in 2002 under the directorship of Ellie Davidoff. Choir membership consists of youth from the 8th grade through to college age students. Now in their 13th season, this choir has grown in membership as well as experience. There are still several original members, and every season they are joined by their younger siblings and new friends, who add strength and spirit to the group. The repertoire of the Vision of Peace Youth Choir consists of hymns and folk songs sung in the traditional Doukhobor acapella style that has been passed from generation to generation for over 200 years. The hymns and folk songs as well as the contemporary numbers in their program selection reflect their Doukobor beliefs as well as their steadfast wish for a peaceful existence on this earth.  less

This work is suitable for a soloist or unison choir. The accompaniment is originally scored for piano, but we have rendered it with organ accompaniment. In a liturgical setting, this work is especially suitable for Baptisms and other services that feature the use of sanctified water (healing and commemorative services). Equally, it would make a reflective motet for use during the distribution of Holy Communion. Many thanks to the Swell Vox crew in this video for beautifully performing the piece: Tony Lee, Caleb Smith, Andrew Flores, James Flores (organ).

Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to sing the missing notes? If tomorrow were your next Life How would you spend your day today? If tomorrow were your next Life How would you spend your day today? Use warmth to safeguard Life from within Let each wave leave its trace behind Use mindfulness to protect wellbeing Let the wheel of Life be given light Translator: Lindsay Chang / Tiffany Hsu Conductor: Meng-Hsien PENG Pianist: Nai-Chia WANG Audio Recording Engineer: Chao-Hui WANG Performance: Müller Chamber Choir Performed at National Concert Hall, Taipei, Taiwan 9 J...    less
