All praise to music! Heaven sent. The voice that lifts all hearts in perfect melody, And leaves the soul fulfilled with joy and peace. All praise! All praise to music! Heaven sent. In open song! ~ Walter Rodby T HE G E O R G I A B O Y C H O I R The Word Was God Rosephanye Powell In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made that have been made. Nothing was made, He has not made. All things were made by Him. ~ John 1:1-3 Jesus Paid It All John T. Grape arr. Joan Pinkston I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small, Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim. I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calvary’s Lamb. And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, “Jesus died my soul to save,” My lips shall still repeat. ~ Elvina Hall Sicut Locutus Est from Magnificat Johann Sebastian Bach Translation: Thus it was spoken to our forefathers, Abraham and his descendants, unto eternity. Weep No More David N. Childs Shed no tear, O shed no tear! The flow’r will bloom another year. Weep no more, O weep no more! Dry your eyes, O dry your eyes, For I was taught in paradise To ease my breast of melodies. ~based on John Keats Pärismaalase Lauluke An Aboriginal Song Veljo Tormis The single word of this song, “Tabu” is a Polynesian word that means Holy or Holiness. It is the word from which we derive the term, “Taboo.” T H E A M E R I C A N B O Y C H O I R Please See Inserted Program Omnia Sol (Let Your Heart Be Staid) Z. Randall Stroope Somewhere far from nowhere, I grew both strong and tall, Longing to become, but knowing not the path at all. But the footprints of the winter melted to fields of spring; One last embrace before I cross the threshold; To Life we sing! O stay your soul and leave my heart its song, O stay your hand, the journey may be long. And when we part and sorrow can’t be sway’d, Remember when and let your heart be staid. ~Z. Randall Stroope T H E G E O R G I A B O Y C H O I R F E S T I V A L C H O I R Alleluia Kanon Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Alleluia. Amen This Little Light of Mine arr. Ken Berg This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine. Ev’ry where I go, I’m going to let it shine. All through the night, I’m going to let it shine. ~Anonymous Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burnin’ arr. Greg Gilpin Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin’, for the time is drawin’ nigh. Soon I will be done with the trouble of the world, the time is drawin’ nigh. Children don’t get weary till your work is done. ~Anonymous Vive L’Amour arr. Alice Parker and Robert Shaw Let every good fellow now join in a song, Success to each other and pass it along, Vive l’amour, Vive la compagnie! (Long live love, Long live the brotherhood) Come all you good fellows and join in with me, And raise up your voices in close harmony. Should time or occasion compel us to part, These days shall forever enlighten the heart. Let every old bachelor fill up his glass, And drink to the health of his favorite lass. Let every old married man drink to his wife, The joy of his bosom and comfort of life. ~ Anonymous Bridge Over Troubled Water Paul Simon arr. Kirby Shaw I’ll be your bridge o’er troubled water, when you’re down, I will carry you like a bridge o’er troubled water, I will lay me down. When you’re weary, feelin’ small, when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all; I’m on your side. Oh, when times get rough and friends just can’t be found, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you’re down and out, when you’re on the street, my lord, when evening falls so hard I will comfort you. I’ll take your part Oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine Oh, if you ever need a friend, look around, I’m sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind. ~ Paul Simon The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, Come ye before Him and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? The Lord our God is good: His mercy is forever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God Whom heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel host be praise and glory evermore. Amen. ~ William Keith The Bent Strings Guest Conductor Fernando Malvar-Ruiz was appointed Litton-Lodal Music Director of The American Boychoir in July 2004.

So true is this that I cannot imagine what my life would be without all the bonds that bind me in loyalty and devotion to Italy and to my Italian friends. 13 June 1959 letter from Thompson to Alfredo Trinchieri Thompson always makes you think there is nothing as beautiful, as rich, or as varied as the sounds of the human voice. Alfred Frankenstein, San Francisco Chronicle (24 May 1958) It is one of the lovely pieces our country has produced, that any country, indeed, has produced in our century.
