As far as I know, aside from me, there is one person who listens to these. I am thinking this may be the final bit of Sunday music I post. I’m not certain, but my energy has been waning recently. Perhaps that will change in the new year, but I just don’t know. If this IS the last, this seems a good thought to end with.
If it’s not … well … it’s not! (If you aren’t my sister and you listen to these perhaps drop me a line so I know more than the two of us are listening?!)
Elaine Hagenberg: The Meditations of My Heart
(No information on singers was given on the YouTube page.)
Carl Schalk: Before the Marvel of the Night, arr. Culloton
The Singers; Matthew Culloton, Conductor; Merilee Klemp, Oboe; Min Kim, Harp
1 Before the marvel of this night,
adoring, fold your wings and bow;
then tear the sky apart with light
and with your news the world endow.
Proclaim the birth of Christ and peace,
that fear and death and sorrow cease:
sing peace; sing peace; sing gift of peace;
sing peace; sing gift of peace!
2 Awake the sleeping world with song:
this is the day the Lord has made.
Assemble here, celestial throng,
in royal splendor come arrayed.
Give earth a glimpse of heavenly bliss,
a teasing taste of what they miss:
sing bliss; sing bliss; sing endless bliss;
sing bliss; sing endless bliss!
3 The love that we have always known,
our constant joy and endless light,
now to the loveless world be shown,
now break upon its deathly night.
Into one song compress the love
that rules our universe above:

Heinrich Schütz: Der Engel sprach zu den Hirten
VOCES8
Der Engel sprach zu den Hirten:
Ich verkündige euch große Freude,
denn euch ist heute der Heiland geborn,
welcher ist Christus der Herr
in der Stadt David,
und er heißt Wunderbar,
Rat, Kraft, Held,
ewig Vater, Friedefürst.
Alleluia.
The angel spoke unto the shepherds:
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
for unto you is born this day a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord
in the city of David,
and He shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, Power, Hero,
Eternal Fater, Prince of Peace.
Alleluia.
