Below the gardens and the darkening pines The living water sinks among the stones, Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines. The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, And now the definite mountain-side disowns The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. Then white oblivion swallows all designs. But still the rich confusion of the sea, Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing, Rises through veils of silence past the trees; In restless repetition bound, yet free, Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.  less

Scott Ferguson, Conductor. March 2012. ---English Poetic Translation: In the midst of troubles and of great calamities, When facing the mountains of life and all of life's burdens, We ask, we seek, we come to understand That You, oh Lord, that You are the true source of Life. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In this great whirl of pain and of suffering, We discover at last that You, oh Lord, You are the Truth and You are the Light, The Source of all life. Te Deum laudamus. (We praise You, oh Lord) Praise and glory to you, oh Lord, Forever and ever. Blessings for You, oh Lord; Truly, You deserve it. We praise You, oh God. For the immense universe created by Your hand, For the evening breeze and the morning dew, For the infinite love that You placed in our hearts, We praise You, oh Lord. Te Deum laudamus. You created in love all that exists: All that we cannot see, All that we do not see,...    less

Recorded live on Thursday, July 3, 2014, at Christ Lutheran Church in Oakland Park, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. Rosemary, Rosemary, There's a Pig in your garden, With silk bristles frizzy And tushes of snow! But Rosemary was cautious, She said, "Beg your pardon! I'm really too busy To look down below." Rosemary, Rosemary, There's a Bird in your kitchen! His voice is gold water, He says, "Pretty Poll!" But Rosemary heard nothing, Putting stitch after stitch in The dress of a daughter, Her thirty-sixth doll. Rosemary, Rosemary, A silver-ringed Rabbit! He bridles and gentles And wants you astride! "I prefer," said Rosemary, "To ride a Good Habit." She went buying black lentils- She did till she died.  less
