Recorded live on June 4, 2013, 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. You are the new day You are the new day I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me you are the new day Send the sun in time for dawn Let the birds all hail the morning Love of life will urge me say you are the new day When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall before the new day One more day when time is running out for everyone Like a breath I knew would come I reach for the new day Hope is my philosophy Just needs days in which to be Love of life means hope for me borne on a new day You are the new day  less

What have we done? We shall meet in heaven This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week Project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less

Conducted by the Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, the choir is now considered to be among the best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music – Renaissance, Baroque, Classical – through Romantic and 20th century music to that of the present day. As an enthusiastic advocate of modern repertoire, Arsys regularly commissions new works by living composers.
