Weckerlin, arr. John Lewers. English translation by Sigmund Spaeth. Recorded live on Sunday, May 5, 2013, at All Saints Episcopal Church in fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir Ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Mother, please explain, what is love? Won't you tell me? Does one feel joy, or is it sad? How am I to know what of late befell me? for now my life no more is glad. Oh, tell me, is loving always kind? Suppose a gentle swain is sighing, Should I be denying? Not long since, to me came a shepherd fair Handsome as could be, and promptly he did swear That he loved me well. How could I tell? How could I tell? If he should come and say the same again, What shall I answer then? What shall I answer then? No one in the village compares with his beauty Whatever he may do or say Is so ful...    less

Nachtwache I Leise Töne der Brust, geweckt vom Odem der Liebe, Hauchet zitternd hinaus, ob sich euch öffen' ein Ohr, Öffn' ein liebendes Herz, und wenn sich keines euch öffn...    less

It does not meet on a regular basis, but comes together for short, intensive work periods, culminating in performances, or “projects.” The majority of its musicians are recruited from the metropolitan Washington, DC and Baltimore areas, but some come from as far away as New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. We offer high-quality performances of significant choral, and choral-orchestral music, concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. We supplement our gifts to the community with unique experiences, such as our “Conversation Concerts.” We also offer advanced training opportunities in our specialized choral and choral-orchestral repertoire for young conductors and singers, through our workshops and performances.  less
