Lullaby On Christmas Eve
Composed by F.M. Christiansen

This is a setting of Psalm 2 for double choir and solo ensembles. Mendelssohn has caught the drama and depth of this text in a unique manner.

Dona Nobis Pacem
Composed by Greg Knauf

Knauf is a young, gifted, American choral composer who utilizes rhythm in a unique manner to enhance the mood of the text.

Song For Athene
Composed by Tavener

Song for Athene was performed September 6, 1997, on the occasion of the funeral in Westminster Abbey of Diana, Princess of Wales, under the title Alleluia. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Eight Chestnut Horses
Composed by Enkhbayar

Mongolian songs often praise horses, real and legendary, reflecting the close relationship between horses and humans. A 13^th century chronicle refers to the eight chestnut horses of Genghis Khan, and they have thus become a symbol of national identity which embodies the Mongolian people’s love for their native language and culture. Indigenous Mongolian musical rhythms are often patterned after the rhythm of a running horse. Such rhythms, found throughout this piece, represent one of the major ethnic features of Mongolian music.

Done Written Down My Name
Composed by Trobaugh

This is a timely remembrance by a contemporary American composer of Christ’s faithfulness regardless of the circumstances of life.

O Lord God
Composed by Paul Tschesnokoff

A Russian composer who devoted himself exclusively to choral composition, both secular and sacred, Tschesnokoff embodies the traditional rich harmonic structure and use of the low bass. He is best known for his composition SALVATION IS CREATED. O LORD GOD has endeared itself to Nordic Choir as its closing selection for over 50 years. “I will sing to the Lord as Long as I live!”

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Arranged by Gilbert Martin

Gilbert Martin, a contemporary American composer, has given us this unique harmonic setting of a familiar hymn.
