Notes
Bless The
Lord, O My Soul
The text is
from Psalm 103
My Heart
Soars
Ms. Henderson
captures the essence of
a beautiful
poem by Chief Dan George.
A Great
Big Sea
This sea shanty
style folk song features
traditional
fiddling and spoons. The text
tells the story
of the effects of a terrible flood
on a small
fishing village.
When I Am
Silent
This very moving
song was written for
a young girl
at Auchwitz.
Al Shlosha
D'Varim
(sung in Hebrew)
This is a lyrical
setting of the text from
Pirkei Avot
(Jewish morality laws).
The text translated
means: "the world is
sustained by
three things, by truth, by
justice and
by peace."
Cantate
Domino
(Premiere
Performance)
The W.Va. All-State
Children's Chorus
commissioned
this song in celebration of
this our 10th
Anniversary Concert.
The text is
adapted from Psalms 47,96,
98 and 149.
Amazing
Grace
John Newton
wrote Amazing Grace in the
18th century
as an anthem of Hope.
The melody
is said to be an early
Protestant
hymn entitled "New Britain".
J'Entends
Le Moulin
(sung in French)
This piece
was originally known as
"Mom pere a
fait batir maison".
The text appears
at times to be illogical and
nonsensical
due it's "games of rhymes" in which
the final syllables
of each line all rhyme
with the "tends"
of "J'Entends".
