Their name originates from the Latin words canti and novum. Together these words become the identity of the Choir and mean 'new song'. At present, there are approximately 30 singers in the Choir for whom music is a passionate interest – for many it is also a future profession. Many of the singers, either study or work at the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences or the University of Jyväskylä. The repertoire of Cantinovum is colorful and varied. It spans from folk music to sacred music and from Renaissance to modern composers. It is very characteristic of Cantinovum to perform songs that have been specially composed for them. They have had the honour of premiering more than a dozen compositions both nationally and internationally.

Set for SATB Choir. It is a meditation on the meaning of transubstantiation. I have also made a French translation and a German translation of the piece (also including the Latin introduction) which are also available on this site. Hoc est enim corpus meum The world's eternity lies here within my hand. The weight of pain, of love, redemption is a sigh upon my hand, My Christ, Lord of the infinite, small to my comfort in my hand. Humility of Love that tender here lies low. White, trusting, full of care within my hand. So, in my hand lies God. Hoc est enim corpus meum.  less

Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to sing the missing notes?
