A MILLION THANKS to Helga who went on You Tube and found videos of performances of all our songs on this repertoire! What a job - and what interesting things she found. See for yourself by clicking on these links:
All Creatures Now
All ye who Music Love
Anvil Chorus
Hallelujah - Beethoven
Chorus of Hebrew Slaves
Lacrimosa - Mozart
Dirait-on
How Lovely is thy Dwelling Place
Jesus bleibet meine Freude - Bach
The Heavens are Telling
Zadok the Priest - Handel
Hallelujah - Handel
Silver Swan
Sure on this Shining Night
Two reflections:
First, these truly are "smash hits" of choral/classical repertoire. They seem all the more so as I realize that people actually have posted these performances on such a mass-media site.
Secondly, the two American pieces (Barber's Sure on This Shining Night and Lauridsen's Dirait-On) are both performed here by choirs in other countries (don't miss them - the Lauridsen is sung by a really wonderful choir in Buenos Aires; the Barber by a young Korean group). What a great sign of the ongoing health - and future - of our favorite music form!
Enjoy! And THANK YOU HELGA!
