Original French poem by Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Music by Abbie Betinis (b. 1944)

Soyez comme l’oiseau, posé pour un instant sur des rameaux frêles, qui sent ployer la branche -- et chante -- sachant qu’il a des ailes.

Crossing the Bar

Poetry by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

Music by Gwyneth Walker (b. 1947)

Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness or farewell,

vere passum, immolatum having truly suffered, sacrificed in cruce pro homine. on the cross for mankind,

Gaude, Virgo gloriosa, Rejoice, O glorious Virgin,

Super omnes speciosa, Lovely beyond all others,

Vale, o valde decora, Farewell, most beautiful maiden,

Et pro nobis Christum exora. And pray for us to Christ.

When I embark; For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place

The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crost the bar.

Spes (Hope)

Mia Makaropp (b. 1970)

Quis talis, ut sapiens est?

Who is like the wise?

Et quis cognovit solutionem rerum?

Who knows the explanation of things?

Biekka oapmi lean

I belong to the wind,

muhto liikká ealán

But I live,

ja dat lea vissa eallima dárkkuhus

Maybe that is the meaning of life.

Ealán odne dál ja dás

I live here and now…

ja just dat lea madoheapme de in eali sat ihttin

I won’t be alive tomorrow.

Ozdolu idu

nu ja máid dasto

That is the way— and so what

Non est in hominis potestate

As no one has power

dominari super spiritum

Over the wind to contain it,

nec cohibere spiritum

So no one has power

nec habet potestatem supra diem mortis

Over the time of their death.

sapientia hominis illuminat vultum eius

A person’s wisdom brightens their face

et durities faciei illius commutatur

And changes its hard appearance.

Bulgarian Folk Song arranged by Philip Koutev (1903-1982)

A children’s song about a many colored cart bumping and jumping down the road.

Ozdolu idu sareni kolca.

Ozdolu idu sareni kolca.

sirili birili bira bira boj sojlaga bojlaga boenda.

Pa koli beste u kolata

Rajna si beste u kolata

sirili birili bira bira boj sojlaga bojlaga boenda.

Pa koli beste u kolata

Goste se karaste kolata

sirili birili bira bira boj sojlaga bojlaga boenda.

MEN’S GLEE CLUB

Media Vita

Written by Notker Balbulus (c.840-901) arranged by Michael McGlynn (b. 1964)

Media vita in morte sumus

In the midst of life we are in death

Quem quaerimus adjutorem nisite Domine

What helper do we seek except you, O Lord

Qui pro peccatis nostris

You who for our sins

Sancte Deus Sancte fortis Holy God, holy and powerful

Sancte misericor salvator O holy compassionate savior

Arrow

Jocely Hagen (b. 1980)

The aiming:

you aim at the center of the eye you gather all the landscape around the single point: if a bird-ribbon flies across the edge if a cloud teases the sun you gather all to the one point

there is only one

The letting go: you are let go you are no longer grasped empty air surrounds you you no longer lean against the bow

Amare mortis ne tradas nos

Do not give us over to the harshness of death

In te speraverunt patres nostris

In you, our fathers placed their hopes

Speaverunt et liberati eos. They placed their hopes and you freed them.

your hock is free you are free you are in danger remember the center all of you remembers the center

The flight: you are moving along an invisible track (you make it yourself) straight as your spine is straight.

Two Latin Motets: In monte Oliveti, Tristis est anima mea Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784)

In monte Oliveti oravit ad patrem

On the Mount of Olives he prayed to his Father

Pater si fieri potest transeat a me calix iste.

“Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.

Spiritus quidem promptus est caro autem infirma

The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak.

Tristis est anime mea usque ad mortem:

Sorrowful is my soul even unto death.

No Time

Arranged Susan Brumfield

Rise, oh, fathers rise: let’s go meet ‘em in the skies. We will hear the angels singing in the morning.

Oh, I really do believe that, just before the end of time, We will hear the angels singing in that morning.

Rise, oh, mothers rise; let’s go meet ‘em in the skies. We will hear the angels singing in that morning.

Oh, I really do believe that just before the end of time,

Vive L’Amour

Arranged by Alice Parker and Robert Shaw

Let every good fellow now join in a song,

Vive la compagnie!

Success to each other and pass it along,

Vive la compagnie!

Vive l’amour,

Vive la compagnie!

And raise up your voices in close harmony.

Vive la compagnie!

Should time time or occasion compel us to part, Vive la compagnie!

These days shall forever enlighten the heart.

Sustinete hic et vigilate mecum

Stay here, and watch me.

Nunc videbitis turban quae cicumdabit me

Now you shall see the mob that will surround me.

Vos fugam capietis, et go vadam immorali pro vobis. You shall take flight, and I shall go to be sacrificed for you.

We will hear the angels singing in that morning. No time to tarry here, no time to wait for you. No time to tarry here, for I’m on my journey home.

Brothers, oh, fare ye well. Sisters, oh, fare ye well, for I’m on my journey home.

Vive l’amour, Vive la compagnie.

Let every old bachelor fill up his glass, And drink to the health of his favorite lass.

Let every old married man drink to his wife, The joy of his bosom and comfort of life.

Vice l’amour, Vive la compagnie!
