(This post was orginally written for the Embro Thistle Singers blog.)   I think sometimes we get so focused on making the Music as directors and singers, we forget that the people around us have "baggage" good and bad that we need to unpack before ...

Founded in February 2008 in order to bring polished intimate and historical choral Music to local communities, VAE regularly performs in Northern CA and has toured abroad in Ireland. Richly themed programs celebrate the elegant beauty of Renaissance motets, tonal color of modern works, and exotic flavor of Music from other cultures. VAE relies exclusively on donations at concerts to defray costs. Singers volunteer their time and talents but are not required to pay dues.  less

Stay, stay, until the hasting day Has run but to the evensong; And, having prayed together, we will go with you along. We have short time to stay as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you or anything. We die as your hours do, and dry away Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.  less

Steh des Nachts auf und schreie zu Beginn jeder Nachtwache, Schütte dein Herz aus vor dem Herrn wie Wasser. Hebe deine Hände zu ihm auf um des Lebens deiner junger Kinder willen, die vor Hunger verschmachten an allen Strassenecken! Herr, schaue und sieh doch Wen du so verderbt hast! Gedenke doch, wie ich so elend und verlassen, mit Wermut und Galle getränkt bin Du wirst ja daran gedenken; den mein...    less
