With increasing anxiety, the priests Call on Baal a second time. Dusk approaches. Still no fire. Still no Baal. Things turn from just plain embarrassing to rather desperate for the priests of Baal. Elijah turns more aggressive this time, urging them to mutilate themselves before their god in an effort to gain his attention. The followers of Baal make one last frenzied appeal, but the final supplication collapses, to stunned silence: For extra insurance, Elijah has dampened all surrounding noise from the wind, the birds and the trees, so no one can falsely claim any natural sound to be the oncoming voice of Baal. - GNAAS-KNUST Choir #anticipate #choral #classicalmusic #elijah #felixmendelssohn #theyoutubeexperience #koncertonline #koncerto  less

With parted lips and outstretch'd hands, And list'ning ears Thy servant stands. Call Thou early, Call Thou late, to Thy great service dedicate. My soul, keep white, and whole. (poem by Charles Hamilton Sorley) Sung at Canterbury Cathedral during our Royal School of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one of the altos. John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this performance.  less

The aim of the Horizons Project is not simply to stimulate the creation of new South African choral music; but to stimulate the creation of a new generation of South African choral composers. There are 2 projects a year, each one focusing on a different genre of choral compositions. The Choir consists of 24 hand-picked singers. By inviting specific ‘head-hunted’ singers to join the choir and not just having open public auditions, allows us to hold an extremely high level of musicianship, technical ability and an exclusivity that makes our sound unique. The choir is conducted and directed by Pieter Bezuidenhout ​  less
