Easter Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise Without delays, Who takes Thee by The hand, that thou likewise With him may'st rise; That, as his death calcined Thee to dust, His life may make Thee gold, and much more, Just. Awake, my lute, and struggle for thy part With all thy art. The cross taught all wood to resound his name Who bore The same. His stretched sinews taught all strings, what key Is best to celebrate this most high day. Consort both heart and lute, and twist a song Pleasant and long: Or since all music is but three parts vied, And multiplied; O let thy blessed Spirit bear a part, And make up our defects with his sweet art. 2. I got me flowers I got me flowers to strew thy way; I...    less

Tra$h Ma$h is a piece made up entirely of musical quotes lifted directly from modern pop songs and mashed togeTher using The Tippet technique (perfect for our 21st century attention spans!) Deep down, I love trashy pop, and The singers in The Australian Voices are mostly under 21. We had a whole lot of parties to find The best (and worst) songs of 2011 to mash togeTher in a kind of 60's disjunct treatment of pop, chopping it up and sticking it back togeTher in a way that was never intended. I think it can be ridiculous an...    less

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; Be thou my best thought in The day and The night, Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, Be thou ever with me, and I with Thee, Lord; Be thou my great FaTher, and I thy true son; Be thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for The fight; Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might; Be thou my Soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower; O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power. Riches I heed not, not man's empty praise, Be thou my inheritance now and always; Be thou and thou only The first in my heart: O Sov'reign of heaven, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Son, O grant me its joys after victr'y is won; Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.  less
