VERA MIXED CHOIR This is a collection of songs that are adapted to a mixed choir. When this formation sings "a cappella", the character, the rhythms and the colors can reach an impressive climax of beauty and energy. This is possible when the singers have understood the importance of the homogeneity of sound, expression and intention. Harmony has always been a mystery to me. I am always amazed when I see the impact it has on the listener. I can say that working with amateur singers makes this accomplishment even more rewarding, mainly because of the sincere efforts and the goodwill of those who humbly lend their voices. This CD will certainly evoke a feeling of peace and serenity as it reaches the soul and creates an aura of mysticism. (Gilles Hainault) 1. Gospodi! (Peter Deunov) Lord! O how I love Thee, my God! I cherish Thy trees, Thy flowers, Thy rivers, Thy mountains, all Thou hast created! 2. Alleluia (N. Kolesar - music: G. Hainault) Light is spreading throughout the world, and the soul rejoices in hope. Halleluia! The Kingdom of God is near. We will work with love. Angels are singing hymns to Christ who is born in our hearts. 3. Da bude blagosloveno (Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov mus.: Gilles Hainault) May Thy Name be blessed and sanctified forever, Lord! 4. In Thy Kingdom (Dobri Christov) vo Tsarstvji Remember us O Lord, when Thy shall be in Thy Kingdom. Blessed are the poor of spirit because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. Blessed are those who cry for they will be comforted. 5. Bojia Liubov (lyrics: N. K. - mus.: Gilles Hainault) O divine Love! Souls fly like doves towards the divine Spirit.

My Heavenly Father (O. M. Aïvanhov - mus.: Gilles Hainault) Our Heavenly Father, Lord of Love, descend into our hearts and dwell in them, so that we may do Thy Will and be one with Thee. 9. Divine Love (O.M. Aivanhov ïvanhov - mus.: Gilles Hainault) More fragrant than a rose from Ispahan purer than the sparkle of a diamond, lighter than the breeze of dawn, fresher than an unfolded flower more transparent than a dew-drop, busier than a bee in a corolla, sweeter and smoother than its honey, and nevertheless more and more ethereal swifter than an arrow for sacrifice, all peace, all joy as a mystical chalice will one day become my divine, my unalterable, my humble love. 10. Prayer Of A Master For His Disciples (N. Kolesar - mus.: Gilles Hainault) O my Father! May I unite with Thee all my sons as a sincere offering of the purest sacrifice.

Music for Young Women's Voices

Music for Young Women's Voices This is a collection of songs that are tailored to the voices of young women. Unlike the sound character of a regular women's choir, women in their youth express a spontaneous and candid sound. In this formation soloists sing in a lower register and stand much closer to the microphone. Formations of small groups render the intimate atmosphere of the passing from adolescence to womanhood. Our intention was to express what an expecting mother might feel, as she experiences this powerful stage of her budding creativity. This CD will convey an empathic feeling of admiration for the purity of feminine expression and the candor of young voices. (G. Hainault) 1. Ukrainian Folksong You will foresee my love only during the moonless night, when the enchanted forest sleeps, when love outlines destiny in mysterious braids. Will you discover the secret? I went outside and scattered sparkling stars throughout the sky; in my garden I put them to sleep; I will weave my silver dreams with you. 2. When at Night I Go to Sleep Humperdinck When at night I go to sleep, fourteen Angels watch over me. Two my head are guarding, two my feet are guiding, two are on my right hand, two are on my left hand, two who warmly cover my head and two who will guide me toward Heaven. 3. Lift Your Eyes to the Mountains Mendelssohn Lift your eyes to the mountains from whence help will come to you. Help will come from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth. He won't allow your foot to slip and He who watches over you does not sleep. 4. O ziu Andri Henri Tomasi from Corsica My very dear Ziu Andria you are really the best coffee tenant. Your wife is a little awkward she makes good onion soup but it is salted a little too much. Ziu Andria, by all the saints quickly serve us a good Malaga. 5. Ninina Lullaby from Corsica Ninina, you are my little boat which advances proud, and which does not fear neither wind nor storms of the sea. When you were baptized, the moon was the godmother, the sun your godfather and the stars in the sky gave you a collar of gold! 6. Lullaby Mozart My beautiful child is falling asleep! In his bird's nest he will curl up! The rose and the marygold will also sleep! The shining moon in the sky will see if you close your eyes! The breeze is singing outside: “Sleep, my dear Angel, sleep!” 7. Oï Padroujenki Russian Folksong My dear souls, what is happening to me? I can no longer live without my beloved. Love leaves me timid. I am speechless in his presence. O you little bird, tell my loved one that love for him is unbearable. My dear friends, peace which is so dear to me alas is lost! 8. Adoramus Te Brahms We adore Thee, we bless Thee, because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the World. Lord, give us Thy Mercy! 9. Happiness Lyrics: Paul Fort ~ mus.: Simone Plé Happiness is in the field, run quickly or it will vanish! If you want to catch it, jump over the hedge, run quickly or it will vanish! 10. The Nightingale Lyr: J.-C. Carrière ~ mus.:G. Hainault The secrets of love are known to me, I repeat my love songs all night long, I move to tears the flower-beds of roses as well as the lover's heart. I teach ever new mysteries, and whoever listens loses his mind, and finds ecstasy. The love of the rose is sufficient for the nightingale. 11. The Garden Lyrics: G. Musy ~ mus.: G. Hainault Thank you, dear garden, for giving flowers which smile in all their vivid colors. Thank you for the bee knitting in its heart a gift from God that feeds us and makes us happy. Blow, spirit of the wind, sing the flowers of Time. 12. O Divine Mother lyr.: O. M. Aïvanhov - mus: G. Hainault O Divine Mother, Spouse of God! O Shekina! O Queen of Heaven! Be blessed! 13. The Spinner G. Hainault Listen to the song of the child awaiting his first daybreak. The springtime of his soul is sung by Choirs of Angels, and spreads perfume in the midst of God's Universe. The joy of the wait fills me with Love. You are a song of love, gentleness of the lamb. You will be born of Love and of Spirit! 14. Dewdrop Peter Deunov Dewdrop, azure world, pure, beautiful and peaceful, calm, peace of heavenly Life! Through you, I call all my dear brothers and sisters, so that we become your people. Every morning, in the dew, we will bathe our hearts as do the sunshine rays; and we will sing new songs spreading magnificent melodies so that the glowing Celestial vault resounds. 15. Panis Angelicus Casciolini Heavenly Bread which has become the bread for all mankind, bread from the Angelic Host, end of all imaginings. O miraculous creation, this Body of God will nourish even the poorest, most humble of servants. 16. Among the Flowers in our Souls G. Hainault Among the flowers in our Souls one day came an Angel to convey the flame of Love of the Gardener. Let us light up the Fire from Heaven! Let us joyfully warm the Earth. Let us cultivate everywhere the spirit of a new life! 17. Prayer G. Hainault 18. Tantum Ergo Gabriel Fauré This sacrament we worship, and the old law cedes to this new ritual. Faith stands in as a supplement for our defective senses. 19. The Song of the Angels Peter Deunov Hear the voices of Angels singing. They sing the song of Love: “Glory to our Sublime Creator! Glory to our Father!” 20. Song of the Trees G. Hainault The wind blends with my foliage, the ground supports my trunk. The sun smiles from above: O Sun, you are so beautiful! I grow with the increasing hope that one day the heat of my burning wood will fill hearts with love. 21. The Divine Child G. Hainault When my divine child will appear as the light of a new world, the night will bless the day, murmuring the most beautiful song. Sing Angel, weave with your hands the white alb this cherub will wear. 22. Moma Toudoro Bulgarian Folksong Todora had fallen asleep under a tree. A sudden brisk wind blew and broke off a small branch. The young maiden Todora woke up in anger: “O wind! you who blow so powerfully, why did you blow while I was having a luscious dream where my first love came to me with a bouquet of flowers and on these colorful flowers laid a golden ring!” 23. The Little Pear Tree Russian Folksong Little pear tree, you who stand green and majestic, everyone admires you. A bright star shines in the sky and I stand alone. My dear beloved one with his blue eyes is far away and my impatient heart sings to him during the wait. Answer me quickly beloved because, in the blooming garden, the little pear tree awaits our meeting. 24. Divine Mother lyr.: Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov - mus.: Lawrence Traiger O Divine Mother! Spouse of God! O Shekina! O Queen of Heaven! Be blessed! 25. Wild Flowers Lyrics: Nino ~ mus.: Jacques Ibert When, as you stroll along, daydreaming, wandering with your hair flowing in the wind, you cross the plains where the marjoram grows, care not to tread on it, nor crush the laburnum, the vervain, or any little wild flower. Do you know that a Fairy lives in the heart of the red poppies, in the bosom of daisies? 26. Prayer to the Divine Mother Guillaume Courmont O Divine Mother, tender and gentle Spouse of God, hallowed with Grace and Love, tune our lyres to the sounds of Your Purity, cover our rich and young lives with Your mantle of stars!
