Consolacion II CANTUS Festival Brass Alejandro Consolacion, organ Franz Miguel Ramirez, conductor 1. When in our Music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried, Hallelujah! 2. How often, making Music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Hallelujah! 3. So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue: Hallelujah! 4. and did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Hallelujah! 5. Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! and may God give us faith to sing always: Hallelujah! Amen.  less

Philomela is a wonderful experience that will linger in your mind even after the Music has died down. Philomela has become one of the most highly regarded choirs in Finland. Marjukka Riihimäki has acted as the choir´s conductor since it was established in 1984. Philomela is one of the most original choirs in Finland. It is a group of 40 unprejudiced, Music-loving women who together form a graceful, polyphonic Musical instrument. The choir performances are intensive and surprising experiences which combine theatrical elements to Music. Philomela’s rehearsals are held in Helsinki but the choir gives several concerts per year all over Finland as well as abroad. Musical profile of Philomela is composed of contemporary Scandinavian choir Music with flavours of world Music, especially Finnish folk Music.  less

[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   I met a painter a while back and he asked me if I was an artist. I told him that I didn’t paint, but that I worked with Music. He then asked: “...
