World Premiere of When Love Is Dead................................ Julie Sanchez (b. 2005) text by Alexander L. Posey (1873-1908) Who last shall kiss the lips of love, when love is dead? Who last shall fold her hands and pillow soft her head? Who last shall vigil keep beside her lonely bier? I ask, and from the dark, cold height without, I hear The mystic answer: "I, her mother, Earth, shall press Her lips the last, in my infinite tenderness."

Music, When Soft Voices Die................................................ Eric Nelson (b.1959)

Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.

Locus Iste.................................................................Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)

Locus iste a Deo factus est, Inaestimabile sacramentum. Irreprehensibilis est. This place was made by God, An inestimable sacrament. It is without flaw.

Daemon Irrepit Callidus....................................................Gyorgy Orban (b.1947) Daemon irrepit callidus, Allicit cor honoribus. Daemon ponit fraudes, inter laudes, cantus, slatus.

Quidquid amabile Daemon dat Cor Jesu minus aestimat.

Caro venatur sensibus; Sensus adhaeret dapibus; Inescatur, impinguatur, dilatatur. Quidquid amabile caro dat Cor Jesu minus aestimat.

The Demon sneaks expertly Tempting the honorable heart: He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song and dance. However amiably the Demon acts, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.

The Flesh is tempted by sensuality;Gluttony clings to our senses; It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches. However appealing the Flesh is, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus. Though the Universe may confer Thousands upon thousands of praises, They neither fulfill nor put out the desire of the heart. However appealing the whole Universe is, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.

Ad de mundorum Milia, mille, millena guadia; Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt, Quidquid amabile totum dat Cor Jesu minus aestimat.

Hail the true body, born of the Virgin Mary: You who truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for mankind. Whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: Be a foretaste for us in the trial of death.

Babe Yetu ........................................................................Christopher Tin (b.1976) Josie McDonald, Dylan Weston, and Janik Buranosky; soli Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe.
