Da cosi dotta man
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1589, TTB edition world premiere) (c.1525–1594)
Brian Southwick & Luc Faucette, tenors
By such a skilled hand you were made, Most graceful portrait, That I could not tell if you are alive Or if you sweetly deceive my eyes.
Why don’t you at least satisfy me with a look, If you breathe and feel?
But if art deceives me too industrious How does it happen that I am inflamed in every part?
Alas, honest loos, and [yet] silent, And by being silent undoes me, That from the cold snow of the beautiful face Arises the ardor that I have gathered in the middle of my chest.
Ah, grant me Love, if you can, As long as it remains between us, That this beautiful image may live, and speak; But let it not be cruel to me, nor ruthless to you.
The River (2021) Susan LaBarr (b. 1981)
Jayne Galloway, piano
Brian Southwick, assistant conductor
Senior Spotlight
Les oiseaux dans la charmille Jacques Offenbach (from Les Contes d’Hoffmann, 1880 (1819–1880)
Bethany Rasmussen, soprano
Jayne Galloway, piano
The birds in the arbor, In the sky’s daytime star, Everything speaks to a young girl of love!
Ah! There is the kind song, The song of Olympia! Ah!
Everything that sings and resonates And sighs, in turn, Moves his heart, which shudders of love
Ah! There is the lovely song, The song of Olympia! Ah!

This Little Light of Mine (2018) arr. Robert T. Gibson
Evocation (2024)
Unable to forget, you will miss them. Let it be, that will be a life all its own, There will come a day when you forget.
Unable to forget, you will miss them. So be it, just the years pass on by, You will one day forget some, it not all.
Yet, for all that, is it not also true. With blood and bones yearning alike, how can the thought ever leave you.
(b. 1989)

Lord, now latest thou thy servant
Depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared Before the face of all people.
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, And to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, And to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, And ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Alas, Lord, for we have sinned too much in my life! poor wretch, what shall I do, where shall I flee, but to you, my God?
Free me, Lord, from eternal death on the awful day; When Heaven and earth move.
