[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Many English pop groups in the 60s started off by emulating their cousins from across the pond and sang with an American accent. Cliff Richard still does! ...

Anonymous catch in 4 equal voices based on peals of bells from "The Catch Club or Merry Companions", published in 1731. I have added some lower voices at the octave for better resonance.

GIVE and TAKE A little Give and Take upholds a friendship. You have beds to sell, I have beddings to buy. Neighbors are family, Good riddles make good friends. The knife may be sharp, it never scrapes its handle. Those who always share never die of hunger. Long lives Diplomacy! Long lives Fraternity! - - - III. DAR y RECIBIR Un poco de Dar y Recibir sostiene una amistad, Tu tienes camas para vender, Yo necesito comprar. Los vecinos son familia, Buenos acertijos hacen buenos amigos. El cuchillo puede ser afilado, pero nunca raspará su mango. Quienes siempre comparten no morirán de hambre. Larga vida a la Diplomacia! Larga vida a la Fraternidad!  less

All the children are free, Teachers are gone, In all corners of the country, school is out! All the pilgrims are ready; it's the frivolous party season! The feast has begun, everywhere it's part time! Many have arrived at Lakou Migonga. Chickens, turkeys and ducks Are carousing in the yard. Fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sisters are gathered, Neighbors and friends, we all make one family. These are all customs in the country of Haiti. Artocarpus incisa, Millet, Sugarcanes are flourishing. Mangos and Avocados are falling all day long. The night before, it's wood burning, The next day, it's the ten a.m. Mass. Everyone's celebrating: Hail to Saint James the Great! It's "Fèt Chanpèt"! Oh, what a beautiful season, It's joy, it's festivity! After Plaine-du-Nord, at Limonade we party some more. It's the frivolo...    less

Under en blodig storm -vi deg til strid! Kanskje du spør i angst, udekket, åpen: hva skal jeg kjempe med hva er mitt våpen? Her er ditt vern mot vold,her er ditt sverd: troen på livet vårt,menneskets verd. For all vår fremtids skyld,søk det og dyrk det, dø om du må - men: øk det og styrk det! Stilt går granatenes glidende bånd Stans deres drift mot død stans dem med ånd! Krig er forakt for liv. Fred er å skape. Kast dine krefter inn: døden skal tape Edelt er mennesket, jorden er rik! Finnes her nød og sult skyldes det svik. Knus det! I livets navn skal urett falle. Solskinn og brød og ånd eies av alle. Dette er løftet vårt fra søster til bror: (original:bror til bror) vi vil bli gode mot men'skenes jord. Vi vil ta vare ...    less

The formal and financial relationship with the Company ceased some time ago but the name is retained for sentimental reasons. The Choir is known for its friendly and embracing nature and the current 34 men & women members who are very keen to welcome new members of all Voice Parts.
