The text describes an eternal being that receives the ancestral light to form part of the stellar mantle. It provides support and guidance to those who are looking for a path. Lyrics And the shadow of twilight fades when the light of the ancestors forms a mantle that protects and guides us. A being illuminating the galaxies The certainty on the shipwrecked path The glint of existence, time and distance. The ancient aurora of golden light at the awakening of the dawn the eyes radiant with certainties condensed into rays of light. The eternal radiance of the soul: an instant of infinite distances and the birth of a million dawns.  less

This work reflects some of the history of Manchester as seen through the eyes of local poet Audrey Vaughan, including its origins around the river Irwell, the original monastery which became Manchester Cathedral, the industrial revolution, the Peterloo Massacre, and the singing of church and cathedral choirs up to the present day. Music composed by David Warin Solomons Conductor: Zoltán Pad Tenor soloist: József Gál Treble soloist: Csongor Gyulai Organist: Zsolt Mészáros Pianist: Dániel Dinyés The boys' choir's conductor was Márton Tóth who taught the piece to the children.

Alumni are always invited to come up and sing along. One of the best parts of holiday concerts is seeing the familiar faces of past choristers. So it made perfect sense to create a virtual performance including both current and alumni singers. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Grand Rapids Symphony Youth Choruses! Enjoy!  less
