Last year my Nephews Jake & Oliver recorded a new vocal and we captured them in a video. This year I have spent several months creating a new video with some stunning winter scenes for your pleasure. I hope you enjoy this song once again this year. * Copyright Darren & Wayne Bartlett - DMBMUSIC * * Flying over the clouds footage used by kind permission of Cloud9* * All additional Footage courtesy of pexels.com & pixabay.com* www.darrenbartlett.co.uk Copyright DMB MUSIC 2000-2020 www.dmbmusic.co.uk  less

English Translation: Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall rise the guilty man to be judged; therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord, grant them Eternal rest. Amen Taghkanic Chorale https://www.taghkanicchorale.org/ May 2020

Usually it is the church song which is incorporated into the folk culture. In the Sotho language: "I also like to see the angels on Mount Zion, with all the blessed people." This is from the OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.

This psalm forms the climax of the whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after the tragedies of the previous sections. In this “extracted” version, the tragic surroundings of the history remain in the background and the purebubbling joy of the psalm itself shines forth. Enjoy the complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition of the piece and will, I hope, encourage other church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in their repertoire.  less

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve Heard that “music is math.” Whether in relation to something simple (counting), or something more esoteric (highly-developed, academic analyses of harmony and structure), or whether it is a misg...
